News: U-Explore launches SkillsActive careers site

Innovative Rotherham education specialist, U-Explore, has launched a brand new careers website for SkillsActive at the national Careers in Sport & Leisure event in Telford.


SkillsActive is the sector skills council for active leisure and learning. They work to increase the demand for the quality and the supply of skills provision, to bring all areas together in collaboration and to lobby funding agencies and policy makers for improvements to the sector.

Thanks to U-Explore, SkillsActive now offers a brand new interactive careers website for anyone wanting to work in the sport and active leisure sector.

Stephen Studd, SkillsActive Group CEO said: "I am delighted to be working in partnership with U-Explore and to launch the brand new sport and active leisure platform.

"The sport and active leisure sector is a fantastic place to start and build a career, and the brand new website gives a real insight into what it's like to work in the sector and the job roles available.

"We will be working with U-Explore to ensure this new site becomes the number one source of information for all those people who want to work within the sector."

The new partnership will enable SkillsActive and U-Explore to provide leading careers information and advice across the sport and active leisure sector.

Andy Pickles, CEO of U-Explore, added: "Our objective from the beginning was to work with sector partners to give young people the most exciting and relevant experience of each and every industry sector.

"I am very proud that our first such partnership is with SkillsActive who have worked with us to develop the content and links to their sector partners in sport, active leisure, caravanning and playwork as well as adopting the U-Explore platform to deliver a careers solution for their sector. As a Sector Skills Council they are the most credible partner for us to work with and we will now proactively look to build on this with further sector skills partnerships."

U-Explore specialises in enabling schools to deliver reality based careers information, advice and guidance. Their U-Explore national school product is an innovative software solution which engages with young people through cutting edge media.
