Supporting the sports industry with digital apprenticeships:

NowSkills is proud to work alongside leading sports industry employers. Whilst we don’t offer specialist sports apprenticeships, our range of digital apprenticeships deliver positive new attitudes, skills and behaviours to the sports industry and ambitious sporting organisations.

We believe that the best forward-thinking sports organisations, who have already committed to sports apprenticeships to boost their organisational talent, can benefit from working in partnership with a specialist digital apprenticeship provider such as NowSkills, who can teach the latest digital skills, tools and techniques to ambitious digital apprentices who are keen to build a career in the sports industry.

As the sports industry adapts to global digital and technological transformation, IT and digital apprenticeships can now play a key role in developing new and existing talent within the growing sports industry. As sporting organisations continue on their digital journey, they can accelerate their understanding of, and adapt to, the evolving digital landscape by including digital apprenticeship learning programmes in their planning.

Sporting organisations often have skills gaps in areas covered by NowSkills digital apprenticeships:

  • + Data Technicians and Data Analysts; where large quantities of data are analysed to produce reports on performance, trends or opportunities.
  • + Digital Marketers; where skills such as social media, image/video editing, email campaigns developing websites are essential to keep in touch with supporters and stakeholders.
  • + Infrastructure Technicians and Network Engineers; where sports organisations have an established computer networks, remote workers, security protocols and where day-to-day IT administration and planning is required.

Sports organisations may choose to enrol current employees onto a digital apprenticeship, or alternatively, they may need to recruit a new employee. If a new employee/digital apprentice is needed, NowSkills receives over 450 applications every month, from potential new apprentices who would potentially be very interested in a sports industry digital apprenticeship.

We are proud to work with leading employers:

Interested in sports apprenticeships?

NowSkills works with some leading sports organisations to provide digital apprenticeships, but we want to make it clear that we are not a sports apprenticeships provider. Therefore, if you are looking to hire a sports apprentice, we recommend contacting a sports apprenticeships specialist. However, if you are interested in enhancing your organisation’s IT capabilities, we offer first-class digital apprenticeship programmes. 

Is digital compatible with the sports industry?

It’s not just specifically IT-related businesses that can employ digital apprentices, for example, almost every employer, including organisations in the sports industry, has a relationship with technology, this may be through their website, social media, data analysis, finance teams, operations software or cyber security.

A large amount of careers within the technology economy exist within traditionally non-digital sectors. NowSkills offers Digital Marketing, Data Analysis, Business Analysis, and Network Engineering apprenticeships, which can all contribute to a sports organisation’s success.
