Jaye HillJaye Hill
(Cert. IV in Outdoor Recreation 2000).
Group Leader, Somerset Outdoor Learning Centre.

“My passion for the outdoors was developed through the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. I particularly loved bushwalking and expeditioning, as well as working with others in the outdoors. Office-work provided me with a limited opportunity to travel to various countries and participate in a range of outdoor activities. Completion of the Certificate IV course enabled me to secure an excellent job as a group leader and I now look forward to going to work every morning.”

(Cert. IV in Outdoor Recreation 2000).
Sea-kayaking Guide, World Expeditions

“Working as a chef in some of Sydney's finest restaurants was very rewarding and challenging, but it didn't allow me enough time to explore my passion - outdoor pursuits. I made the decision to quit work and study outdoor recreation. It soon became apparent that with the training I received in adventure tourism, I would be able to combine my food preparation skills with outdoor activities. I am happiest when I'm sea kayaking and my clients are happy when I cook up a feast on a secluded tropical island."

(Cert II and IV in Outdoor Recreation 2003 and 2004).
Program Officer/ Outdoor Leader, Lake Tinaroo Active Recreation Centre

Having grown up as a country kid, I shared a passion for the outdoors with my family. This continued when I took Outdoor Pursuits as a subject in year 11 and 12. Everyone always dreams of working in a job they love; and now thanks to the TAFE’s Outdoor Recreation courses, I’m now qualified and in a well-paid job doing what I love. The Outdoor Recreation industry is rapidly growing around the world and can take me anywhere I want to go.
