self regard, teamwork…..?• How can we guide students to put their best foot forward in making right career choices?
Do you hear your students asking you…..?
• How do I learn to use my skills to move from ordinary to extra-ordinary?• How do I get to know that there is more in me than I already know?• The theoretical part of the course is fantastic. How can I be sure that I will be able to apply it in the real
world? Destinations Outdoors brings to you

Our facilitators : Bring to you over 20 years experience across industries – and hence their ability to relate to your work processes and market scenario
Our process - Experience -> Review -> Learn/Unlearn -> Apply/ Plan
We follow a process for every training program. It includes “clear objectives, skilled facilitation, a plan to transfer the knowledge gained back to the job, and credible evaluation and follow-up”.
Our experiential learning programs : Participants are engaged & invest themselves in the simulation outcomes “mentally, physically and emotionally” and the feedback is “immediate, concrete and visible to all” – this accelerates the learning process!!
Our locations : We can offer you locations in the hills, river rafting sites , jungles, beaches & deserts - far from the crowds, considering the program & simulation design. “Working in a parallel world, away from our workplace enables a birds eye view of our real world objectively”
Outdoor team and safety process : Certified, dedicated & in house outdoor team, highly trained professionals, audited equipment and 3-line safety process
Post workshop assistance : Not a flash in the pan! No program would be complete if the intervention does not measure an outcome and this stage is a very integral part of our process. Institutionalizing learning – post workshop refresher.
