Opportunities
These courses provide an excellent
opportunity for students and staff to add breadth to their CV and are an
essential bolt-on to those studying sports science. However, the leisure market
is a desperately competitive environment and those looking for employment not
only need qualifications, but actual experience as well. The university
volunteering programme provides this opportunity. The community sports
programme, delivered by the V-Team, matches students/staff with a volunteer
placement that suits their availability and interest. Those who take part in the
community sports programme have the chance to receive a financial contribution
towards their coaching qualifications taken, in
exchange for an agreed number of hours voluntary work.
In addition, some placements may involve further training such as first aid and
child protection courses, as well as the opportunity for recognition through
Millennium Volunteers and the Fast Track Essex Skills Award.
