NETWORKING
CorpsTHAT recognizes that it can be challenging to discover mentors, colleagues, and peers in the conservation and outdoor industry as Deaf and hard of hearing individuals. CorpsTHAT has been working on to develop a space where Deaf and hard of hearing land management employees, outdoor professionals, employees in the conservation corps fields, and much more can connect and share ideas. CorpsTHAT intends to offer opportunities for members to engage and form authentic relationships in a variety of settings that are inclusive and accessible to grow a thriving, supportive community of diverse Deaf and hard of hearing professionals help enrich the fields of conservation and outdoor recreation and education.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
CorpsTHAT understands that it can be frustrating and quite limiting for Deaf and hard of hearing land management employees, outdoor professionals, employees in the conservation corps fields, and outdoor interpreters to discover professional development accessible in American Sign Language. It is why CorpsTHAT has been dedicated to developing workshops, training, educational materials with ASL, including kinesthetic and visual elements approaches in mind.
CorpsTHAT aims to provide events and training for individuals seeking specific certifications and credentials. We also deliver a variety of webinars and other online education throughout the year. Opportunities can be searched in our Event Calendar.
