Prospective and early-career outdoor guides looking to add some credentials now have a new way to burnish their resumes through the University of Wyoming.
The Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources has launched a six-week online program thatâs geared toward nondegree students whose profession has them guiding clients outdoors.
The curriculum targets no one profession in particular, but rather hunting, fishing, rock climbing, rafting, wildlife viewing, cycling, hiking, snowmobiling, ATVing, horseback riding, skiing and wildlife tour guides.
Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris owner Jason Williams was inspired to approach the University of Wyoming with the idea because he thought there was an empty niche for a broad-based training program targeting guides like those he employs.
