SportGrads
SportGrads is the country’s newest and most innovative recruitment programme focusing on creating opportunities for the most talented young people that wish to pursue a career in sport.
SportGrads is not about finding the best young athletes for clubs or teams, but finding the most agile, flexible, best young minds with an attitude to match their aptitude. SportGrads will focus on placing young people with the right skills and a desire to work in marketing, sales, events, PR and communications, HR, finance, sports development and general management functions within a sporting context.
We will also provide bespoke and tailored training solutions, events and networking opportunities to improve the skills, expertise and understanding of all those that join SportGrads.
The service is free to all those that wish to register and aims to provide enthusiastic sport and leisure focused graduates with companies, organisations, professional clubs and sporting bodies who are looking to access the country’s biggest and best pool of young talent.
The service is available to all those that have graduated on or since the summer of 2007 as well as those that will graduate this summer.
With the aim to launch the service in the coming weeks, if you are a graduate interested in registering for the service or an organisation looking to access the best sport and leisure focused graduates then please get in touch using the contact details on this page.
The launch of SportGrads
Wenlock Suite, International Centre Telford 24th November, 15.45 – 17.30
SportGrads will be officially launched immediately following the close of day one of Careers in Sport + Leisure. The event will take place in the Wenlock Suite at the International Centre with invitations extended to all speakers, exhibitors and sponsors of the event as well as additional guests who network be alongside the ‘top 100’ SportGrads chosen from the talent pool to meet with potential future employers.
The event is the first of two networking events planned on the first day of the event and will provide a great opportunity for both the SportGrads members as well as the invited guests to meet and we believe will add significant value to the overall benefits package for all our contributors whether these are speakers, exhibitors or sponsors.

MY CSL STORY
I’m only in my first year at university but all I hear is that there are so many people unemployed these days. I know it will be a while before I have to think about applying for proper job but I want to give myself the best chance of getting one and one that I actually want too.
I heard about Careers in Sport and Leisure, I’ll be going because I want to hear what everyone has to say. I absolutely love sport and have played tennis, hockey and football since I was at primary school. I have also been doing a bit of part time work in the summer helping out the county tennis team’s analyst and have really enjoyed that.
I know that I want to work in sport but want to find out how to make myself stand out from the rest and also about all the other opportunities available.
