Cal Poly Humboldt students who have opportunities to network with professionals, attend conferences, and advance their employability with training and certifications are often better equipped to get the jobs they want. This is especially true in Recreation Administration.

Recreation professions often demand certifications and training beyond the classroom, such as Wilderness First Responder, Swift Water Rescue, and Certified Parks and Recreation Professionals. Students who attend conferences, experience large exhibit halls, and meet with recruiting employers gain perspectives that are simply unavailable in the classroom.

With your support, students can receive professional development funds to give them the skills and experience needed to succeed in their chosen field. Students with these certifications have a better chance of employment and opportunities to develop their careers. Students who attend conferences get to mingle with professionals and future employers, often leading to internships and employment.
