About Careers in Sport + Leisure

Created and run in 2009 CSL is the only national careers event for the sports and leisure sector and ran for the first time at the Sheffield Arena, attracting 4500 sport and leisure students over two days. The event was an even bigger success in 2010, with over 5000 young people visiting the Telford International Centre at the end of November.

Careers in Sport + Leisure is about providing proactive, driven young people with the best possible information, support and expertise to help in their decision making when it comes to their future careers and our exhibitors and sponsors with access to these young people - essentially the next generation of decision makers in the industry!

The background to Careers in Sport + Leisure

It is estimated that in the summer of 2011, 75,000 graduates will leave university with a qualification related to the sport and leisure industry. In addition to these graduates, there are tens of thousands more young people taking sport and leisure related training and qualifications in the FE sector and many more looking to work in the sector that need advice, support and greater understanding.  

At any one time there are approximately 650,000 people employed in sport and leisure related jobs – but at the same time there is a distinct lack of information on the opportunities that exist across the entire breadth of the sector.  

Careers in Sport + Leisure aims to fill this information gap and give direct access to key individuals and organisations within the sector, assisting all those who aspire to work in sport and leisure. Any organisation that targets young people in the sport and leisure sector can do so at the biggest event of its kind ever held in the UK.  

The young people attending CSL 2011 will be those looking to work in the sector and learn more about the opportunities that exist within sport and leisure.  

Careers in Sport + Leisure is run by 100AND10% who created and ran the first ever event in 2009 and continue to run the event today. For more information on 100AND10% click here.
