TJM - The Journeyman

The wildland fire community is diverse, encompassing a wide range of professionals from firefighters to support staff, all requiring different levels of yearly required training, certification, and experience. The Journeyman (TJM) application recognizes this diversity and offers tools to connect workers with businesses, fostering a robust community where opportunities for employment and professional development are easily accessible for all.

This idea was born out of our own necessity and yearly conversations with people on wildland fires. We want to bridge the gap between wildland companies/agencies and who they employ to foster a more connected, informed, and ready wildland firefighter community no matter if your day one or its your last season." - Tyler Olson (Co-Founder)
