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 promote active wellbeing, build confidence and give young people the opportunity to gain new qualifications.
We want our young people leaving 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 young people highlight their skills and prepare for interviews;
They’ll also have the opportunity to work with our social action projects, where they can join other young people to make a difference in the community, developing work-place skills, such as communication, problem-solving, and project management;
and they 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 them the opportunity to build up their 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 young people with the opportunity to build confidence, gain valuable knowledge and skills, and improve their chances of finding a career they’ve always wanted – all from the comfort of their 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 their course, we will continue to support each young person in finding relevant work experience and applying for jobs.
They’ll have full access to our employability mentors who can work with them on a one-to-one basis, provide tailored support and get them job ready and find work.
We want to help young people get job ready and find work.
Our online qualification programmes can help candidates stand out from others, boost their confidence and get them one step closer to their dream job.
