Parks California’s Career Pathways program offers career training and mentorship for people interested in parks and public land careers. We launched the Career Pathways Grant Program in 2021 to support workforce development between State Parks and local organizations. Parks California plays a unique role in bringing diverse perspectives, lived experiences, and Indigenous knowledge into stewardship of our state’s parks.

The Career Pathways program supports participants in building skills and connections to mentors and professional networks to support them in their career journey.
