Programme Overview

Our Access To Sport Programme has been designed to provide students with a high quality of support, enabling them to achieve positive habits of time keeping, travelling to and from a place of work and developing their personal soft skills such as confidence and communication to help them back onto a successful career path.

Incorporating both sports coaching and employment skills, the first 10 weeks of this programme will help students to identify any barriers to employment that thy are facing, whilst introducing Functional Skills Support and the basics of sports coaching.

Our dedicated sports tutors will support you throughout the programme, ensuring you develop the key skills and behaviours that employers are looking for by learning through sport coaching activities. This is also a great opportunity to progress with your maths and English Functional Skills qualifications and experience working with one of our various employers on a work experience placement. Our student engagement and careers team, will guide you through this programme with the final goal of securing an apprenticeship, employment or college offer.
