PROFESSIONAL OUTDOOR INDUSTRY CERTIFICATE
To help usher in a new era of growth and success in the outdoor recreation industry,
WCU is launching an innovative Professional Outdoor Industry Certificate program with
two tracks that offer core workshops in either Small Business and Entrepreneurship
or Leadership and Management. The program will provide skills and knowledge to students
and learners from a variety of backgrounds who are interested in the outdoor industry,
economic development, and the public lands and natural resources policy sectors.
GRANT WRITING CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
Five-day trainings offered for beginning and advanced grant writers! In the introductory
program, participants will learn grant writing essentials beginning with searching
for grants all the way through follow-up after receiving a grant. Participants will
practice drafting materials for a hypothetical or actual grant and receive feedback
from the instructor and other participants in order to build skills with key steps
in grant writing. In the advanced grant writing program, participants will develop
materials for use in a grant application by their organization.
