Sport and Active Leisure
The sport and active leisure industry is relatively new, but is very quickly gaining a high profile because of recent importance placed on good health. Its workforce has a significant role to play in encouraging the population to lead active and healthy lives.
The industry is one of the fastest growing in the economy. Current projections are that 100,000 jobs will be needed by 2014, with an additional 86,000 volunteers needed to stage the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The industry spans over 200 job roles covering fitness instructors, equipment supply, stadium or activity centre management, ground keepers and play workers.
You don’t need to be an athlete to work in this profession, but you should have an empathy with the importance of leading an active and healthy lifestyle. The industry is hugely attractive to young people and is often seen as a gateway to other careers, like journalism, teaching or business management.
