National Apprenticeship Week 2025: How Sportscape Education supports future sports coaches
This week marks National Apprenticeship Week 2025 (February 10-16), a celebration of the opportunities apprenticeships provide for individuals looking to gain hands-on experience while earning a qualification.
With the theme "Skills for Life," the event highlights how apprenticeships equip learners with the knowledge and experience they need to succeed in their chosen careers.
At Sportscape Education, apprenticeships play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of sports coaches.
By combining classroom learning with real-world experience, apprentices gain valuable skills that set them apart in a competitive industry.
Apprenticeships are an excellent option to consider for young people wishing to start a career, for employees looking to progress in their current role or retrain for a new career or for employers needing to fill skills gaps to help grow their business.
An apprenticeship is a paid job that combines on-the-job training with a programme of study.
Millie Jones, Head of Teaching at Sportscape Education, believes apprenticeships offer a unique pathway into the world of sports coaching.
She said: "Apprenticeships allow learners to develop not just their technical skills, but also their confidence, communication, and leadership abilities.”
Sportscape Education provides learners with the tools they need to succeed in the field of sports coaching.
Apprentices are given hands-on coaching experience, the chance to shadow experienced professionals and structured training that leads to recognised qualifications.
The benefits of apprenticeships extend beyond skill development.
They also offer a debt-free route into the workforce, allowing learners to earn while they learn. .
As National Apprenticeship Week 2025 continues to shine a light on the value of apprenticeships, Sportscape Education remains committed to helping aspiring sports coaches gain the skills, experience and confidence they need to thrive in the industry.
