Get Fit For Employment programmes explained

Video transcript

Sport 4 Life UK gives young people the life skills needed to move into education, training or employment through sports‑themed personal development services.

Our Get Fit for Employment and employability programmes are for any 16-29-year-olds not currently in education, training or employment. Our aim is to get you active, build your confidence and get you the qualifications you need to find a job and earn money.

In each programme, you’ll have the chance to connect with our employability mentors. If you’re looking for help finding a job, improving your CV or practising your interview skills, they can work with you on a one-to-one basis, giving you tailored support to help you find work or get back into education.

You’ll leave our programmes feeling empowered, ready to start applying for jobs and a step ahead of the competition.

Our employability programmes are divided into two parts:

The first part is there to boost confidence with our employability workshops where we’ll help you highlight your skills, update your CV and prepare for interviews;

You’ll also have the opportunity to work with our social action projects, where you can join other young people to make a difference in your community, develop work-place skills, such as communication, problem-solving, and project management;

and you can take advantage of our unique employment pathway connections – where thanks to our partnerships with local and national businesses, we have exclusive access to future employment opportunities and related training programmes.

The second part gives you the opportunity to build up your CV with sector specific, fully-funded, and accredited online qualifications. These sectors include: construction
healthcare, and sports.

With new sectors and qualifications added all the time.

Our online qualifications provide you with the opportunity to build your confidence, gain valuable qualifications, and improve your chances of getting the career you’ve always wanted – all from the comfort of your own home.

We want to give every young person we work with the chance to make a positive change in their lives.

We’ve been working with young people since 2006. Through sport, personal development services and employability workshops, we’ve helped thousands of young people build their confidence and gain the skills they need to move into sustained education, training or employment.

After completing your course, we will continue to support you in finding relevant work experience and applying for jobs.

You’ll continue to have full access to our employability mentors who can work with you on a one-to-one basis, provide tailored support and get you job ready and find work.

Let us help you get job ready and find work.

Stand out from others, and get one step closer to your dream job by boosting your confidence with a new qualification.
