Support and Development

Throughout the year, the Coach & Volunteer Academy aim to bring in a number of industry experts to deliver a range of engaging workshops. Some of these workshops are specific to their section of the industry and our strands, but many of them are put on to increase our volunteer’s employability skills in the sport’s industry.

These sessions are also a great way to network with other volunteers and leading professionals in the sports industry!

Many of our strands will offer internationally recognised qualifications to our volunteers, all of which will be provided at a subsidised rate, but with the vast majority being completely free of charge!

Over the past few years we have offered an array of Coaching and Officiating qualifications in a number of different sports, we have also offered qualifications and accreditations in our performance support strand such as ISAK.

Each year, we work in partnership with the University’s Careers Network to deliver a student conference based around starting a career in the sports industry called Talk Sport. We invite a number of 含羞草视频 Alumni that are working in the Sports industry to deliver a range of engaging workshops to our students, as well as housing a traditional sporting career fair.

The Coach & Volunteer Academy work in partnership with a number of organisations and national governing bodies to provide opportunities for our students to gain work experience and industrial placements in the sporting industry.

The Coach & Volunteer Academy staff are there to provide all volunteers with support and guidance, whether this relates to a specific voluntary role, placement opportunities, or external work experience.

Come and speak to one of our staff or email CVA@lboro.ac.uk to find our more.
