We have traditionally run our Internship Program at our National Base in Tharwa, ACT, however in February 2009 we will be delivering the Certificate IV in Outdoor Recreation program in Western Australia for the first time. The course will be a combination of solid technical training, soft skills such as facilitation through to extensive work experience opportunities.

We have Scholarships available to successful West Australian applicants.

We are opening up seasonal and casual employment opportunities to the Australian and International Outdoor professional field. Traditionally, seasonal or casual staff utilised during our peak seasons have been solely ex-Outward Bound Australia instructors.  We are now changing in our approach to seasonal and casual staffing, looking to employ staff from the Outdoor Education field in general.

As a Registered Training Organisation, Outward Bound has the scope to deliver the Certificate IV in Outdoor Recreation as part of our Instructor training program (Internship). This program is designed not only to provide participants with nationally recognised qualifications, but also the experience to become valued members of our operational team, and the Outdoor Industry as a whole.

The next start date for the Internship program is 28th January 2009, the closing date for applications is 7th November 2008.

Outward Bound Australia aims to build stronger communities by inspiring Australians to discover, develop and achieve their potential, through journey based experiential education.

We are seeking enthusiastic and committed individuals with the desire to build a career with Outward Bound Australia, and a keen interest to continually learn and challenge themselves, to help us achieve this mission. As a 'Group Instructor' you will be involved in implementing experiential education programs according to client aims, Outward Bound Australia operating procedures, philosophy and values.
