They will need to justify the advantages and suggest disadvantages of these areas to different sporting situations. They will gain an understanding of how it is possible to progress through work places and write a CV or perform a skills audit to check suitability of employment.

To prepare students for the world of work and give them the necessary skills required when continuing on the sport and PE pathway in the future.
