Dunstable College’s Football Development Programme has just returned from a coaching careers day at Oxford City Football Club set up by the Football Association. The purpose of the day was for the students to find out about potential careers in the football industry. The College was one of only six in the country invited to this event.
The day was in two parts; the first part of the day was a practical session where the students were put through their paces by some of the Football Association’s top coaches using some of the latest football equipment.
The second part of the day was information covering how to progress into the coaching industry. Manchester United, Fulham and Arsenal representatives all gave presentations about how the students can break into this competitive industry. There were also numerous companies from the USA talking about opportunities part-time and full-time over there.
Since visiting this event one of our BTEC National Diploma students, Ryan Mulford, has had successful interviews with an American company and will be working the summer in the United States of America.
Dunstable College is currently recruiting for this September’s Football Development Programme.
There is one more trial date left on Wednesday 23 July, to book a place or for more information simply call Colin Sharpe on ext 128 or Email: csharpe@dunstable.ac.uk
The College is also running a level one Certificate in Football Coaching in conjunction with the Beds FA. For information on this course contact Colin on the above details or visit www.bedfordshirefa.com
