Trail Skills Project: Connecting the Trails Community to Training, Expertise, and Professional Development

The Trail Skills Project is a collaboration of trail nonprofits, federal agencies, and universities launched to serve as the workforce hub for the trails community providing connections to trails education, trail expertise, professional development, and job opportunities (trailskills.org). The project was launched in an effort to create shared language defining trail competencies through the Trail Competency Framework, the foundation on which the website is organized.
