Sport4Kids are taking in part in the Kickstart Programme to offer young people the opportunity to experience working in a fully controlled operation and get exposed to a disciplined work environment. The scheme gives young people the opportunity to join an established team and training scheme, find out more about Sport4Kids and the career opportunities once the scheme is complete.

Individuals will complete the relevant training pathways for the activity lines in which they work, which includes online training modules on the S4K University and practical assessments under the guidance of experienced S4K team. There is a badged qualification that will be accredited through City & Guilds to demonstrate they have undertaken the S4K proprietary skills training and an assessment of their skills. This builds credibility and confidence in the workplace and aids immediate employability opportunities. All of our pathways have ‘audit’ points during the process, enabling senior coaches to give Kickstart individuals performance reports and comprehensive references throughout, which provides detailed feedback to help their development. Individuals will learn the skills to work independently but will have the support and guidance of a team throughout the placement. They will also be given different roles and responsibilities within the team so will have to learn how to work in varying conditions and with different outcomes.
