A Career with a Difference
Providing great career advice should be about widening student’s horizons and giving them the opportunity to see careers that are a little out of the ordinary.
Have you talked to your students about Horseracing?
Did you know it is:
- The Second Biggest Spectator Sport to Football
- An Industry worth 3.45 billion to the British Economy
- The largest Sporting Employer.
There are many different routes to explore from Apprenticeships and Early Career Programmes to hands on working with horses or working in an office environment:
- There are several Specialist Training Colleges to choose from which young people can attend either after GCSEs or A Levels. For those wanting to explore riding options, the British Racing School based in Suffolk and the National Horseracing College based in Yorkshire, offer a Foundation Course in Racehorse Care which leads to a Level 2 Apprenticeship delivered in a racing yard.
- For those based in Scotland, the Scottish Racing Academy also has courses to offer. They offer a vocational pathway allowing students to learn more about the racehorse and how to care, feed, prepare and exercise racehorses.
- The National Stud based in Suffolk offers practical courses learning how to care for mares, young horses and foals, ideal for those students who don’t necessarily want to ride horses but are keen to care and look after them.
- There are also Business Apprenticeships available and Early Career Programmes, so there really is something for everyone.
