Description

Introduction Currently in Australia there are a number of pathways that exist to provide entry into the outdoor profession, but it is not always clear which pathway will produce the best employees. Where do graduates from outdoor education degrees fit within the spectrum of employment positions and qualifications that exist within the Australian outdoor profession? The outdoor profession spans a range of overlapping fields including outdoor education, outdoor recreation, adventure therapy, and organisational/management corporate development (Mann, 2005a). There are claims by a number of Australian universities that their graduates are suited to work across the outdoor profession but can this claim be substantiated? There is no conclusive evidence that graduates of undergraduate courses within Australia meet, or fail to meet, employers' needs. If a degree does not give the graduate a significant advantage in gaining employment comparable to a shorter course is it worth the time and money involved?
