Over the next couple of weeks our Year 1 learners will be delivering their business presentations as part of their Unit 2: Self Employment in Sport.

This will help to develop our learners softer skills needed for employment. To us, this is vitally important; we want our learners to become more employable whilst they are with us so that they have the best possible chance of succeeding in the sports industry when they have finished with us.

If you want to study on a programme which is not only based around the sports industry, but also works on your employability skills, please get in touch! We would love to hear from you!
