Apprenticeships That Change Lives
Coach Core’s award-winning apprenticeship programme gives 16–24-year-olds the chance to earn while they learn, gaining real-world coaching experience alongside nationally recognised qualifications. These apprenticeships help young people from underserved communities unlock career pathways in coaching, youth work, fitness, and more.
Employer Partnerships Across the UK
Coach Core works with hundreds of employers, including professional sports clubs, charities, and leisure providers, to provide meaningful apprenticeship placements. These relationships ensure that young people not only gain vital experience but are also part of organisations committed to nurturing new talent in the industry.
