In modern employment, gaining relevant work experience is an essential part of anyone’s professional development. More and more employers look for experience in their sector before employing any individual.
Sport4Kids provides a structured programme for young people from the age of 14 years to learn key coaching, teaching and life skills. The S4K Work Experience Programme is aligned to any Government or authorised work experience programmes. Any person completing the S4K Work Experience Programme will be supervised by experienced S4K Lead Coaches, and will be expected to complete age-appropriate duties as part of the work experience.
Sport4Kids offer work experience opportunities to pupils and students studying at different ages;
- 14-16 years – school
- 16-18 years – college
- 18+ – universities
Work experience generally is part of a school/college/university course, but can also be part of an award or community scheme such as Duke of Edinburgh or NCS. Of course if you want to do some voluntary coaching, there really is no upper age limit for applying with Sport4Kids!
