SkillsActive launches careers service
SkillsActive, the Sector Skills Council for Active Leisure and Learning, officially launched its careers information and guidance service on 6 July at SkillCity, the interactive careers and training event in London.
SkillsActive’s entry to the workforce manager, Stephen Mitchell, said: “Employers in the sector are equally keen to recruit staff that are adaptable and enthusiastic and have had some work or industry experience, such as activity leadership, sports coaching or pool lifeguarding.
“SkillsActive is working in partnership with employers in the sector to shape the qualification frameworks that make up the courses available in colleges and universities.
“This involves asking what employers require their current and future employees to have in terms of qualifications and training; this way, students can graduate from college and university and be vocationally ready for employment.”
SkillsActive is charged with leading the skills and productivity drive within the sport and recreation, health and fitness, playwork, outdoors and caravan industries – the active leisure and learning sector. The sector provides more than 200 different job roles to choose from, with over 5.8 million volunteers already working in unpaid positions.
The service has been trialled since November last year.
