On behalf of our client, Trailhead Development Company Inc. (TDC), we are seeking a passionate, proactive, and organized candidate for the immediate opening of an Administrator in Parson's Pond, located on the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Who We Are:
The Trailhead Development Company Inc. (TDC) is a newly incorporated not-for-profit organization with the funding and mandate to advance a comprehensive, innovative workforce development strategy for the benefit of the Town of Parson's Pond and the region.
Our purpose is to create several market-driven attractions within Parson's Pond; purposeful attractions that draw the attention of the adventure-seeking tourist looking to begin a journey along the Great Coastal Trail. Our efforts are intended to be scalable and to create workforce development through training and skills arising from the operation of targeted, social enterprises. The goal is to leverage significant private sector investment in accommodations, food and hospitality services, as well as direct and indirect workforce participation within the cultural sector and the outfitting sector, including specialized services such as equipment rentals and other attributable benefits once proof of concept has been established. The TDC project will create training models and opportunities to ensure that a highly skilled workforce is in place to accomplish potential. Projects are intended to be scalable to other community investments both inside and outside the community of Parson's Pond.
In our early phase, TDC, in partnership with the Central Development Association (CDA), will oversee and facilitate the construction of a 28-kilometre Demonstration Trail from Parson's Pond to Daniel's Harbour on the Great Northern Peninsula.
