As in most other workplaces, the more skills you have, the more employable you are. If you are thinking about working a ski season, you can also increase your chances of successfully finding work:
Winter Season
Workshop - 29 May 2008
If you're thinking about working a winter season, but don't really know
where to start, then the Natives Winter Season Workshop should be your first point
of call.
With specialist advice from experts across the industry, plus Q&A sessions, they
are a great way to guide you through the maze of opportunities.
Cookery Courses - May, July, August and October 2009
If
you're looking for chalet work, a cookery course qualification will make
a significant difference to your chances.
Typically, successful completion of one week cookery course will persuade
an employer that you will be able to run a chalet competantly. Indeed,
our own Natives one week courses are so highly regarded through the industry,
that we guarantee to find you a job (if you have the right passport).
Ski/Snowboard
Technician Courses - March and other months
Rental shops, both in the UK and overseas, all need competent staff. And
with safety at stake, experience and qualifications are even more important.
Anything Technical specialise in training budding ski and snowboard technicians, and offer fully certified courses in Kendal and Basingstoke, that are recognised as being the standard for the industry.
Ski
and Snowboard Instructor Courses - All year
If you are keener to make this something of a career, then perhaps training
as a ski or snowboard instructor may be for you?
It can be expensive and take some serious dedication, but ultimately rewarding and can offer year-round work all over the world. There are many companies out there offering a variety of courses in different countries, all listed on our Instructor Course page.
Don't fancy working,
but still want to do a season...?
You can still spend the whole season in the Alps without working at all.
Natives organise seasonal accommodation in resorts across the Alps and
North America each season. You can either rent an apartment with your
pals or we can find people for you to share with and bring the cost down.
Check out our seasonal accommodation
section and sign up now for updates as we move through towards next
winter.
