TAG reaches 300 landmark
Transforming a Generation (TAG) has ensured that more than 300 young people, who were claiming Job Seekers benefits, are now in training to be fitness instructors and/or in work.
The number has been reached within five months of the launch.
Specifically designed to help unemployed young people into careers in the health and fitness industry, TAG has set a target of putting 1,800 young people through the scheme in the next year.
TAG was set up by Fred Turok, chair of the Fitness industry Association (FIA), and founder of LA Fitness.
"It's very encouraging that we are gaining ground and that industry support is continuing to grow,” he said.
“TAG employs many young people who have not previously had the opportunity to gain solid work experience in the industry, because they lacked the qualifications and work place knowledge.
The TAG programme alongside the industry is ensuring that a new generation of young fitness instructors are well placed to advance themselves and to develop careers, with the technical knowledge and customer service skills that make them an asset to their work place."
