Skills through Sport

It is widely recognised that through participating in sporting activities in all its guises (as a coach, a team member, as part of a management team) individuals can develop a broad range of marketable and job relevant skills.  In order to maximise those capabilities for individuals, BUCS is embarking on an exciting new programme in association with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to enhance the development of these key skills for university undergraduates.

 

Skills through Sport is an exciting new project that aims to mentor and support undergraduate students in the development of their personal skill set gained through sporting activity.  By helping students recognise and articulate the skills that they develop through their involvement in sport – helping them enhance and build on these skills and how they can transfer these to their future careers – the project aims to provide valuable support to the personal and professional development of students by running a series themed workshops.

 

The programme will be centred on workshops delivered by the PwC ambassadors and students will be able to gain an insight into how skills developed on the ‘playing field’ can be transferred into working life and in addition they will receive first hand advice on pathways into employment on graduation. 

 

·         Skills through sport will give students the chance to be involved in a unique scheme run in association with one of the top five global professional service firms

·         The programme will allow students invaluable access to the skills, experiences and expertise of PwC’s partners, directors and employees.

·         to gain an insight into how skills developed on the ‘playing field’ can be transferred to working life
