CLUBFest

Most professional sports club do not engage their athletes with anything STEM related, simply because they may be lacking the knowledge and expertise to do so.

The Fest Hub bridges the gap between sports and STEM by providing learning and training opportunities to support our sports players transitions into the wider world. In addition to providing routes into careers within STEM and sports.

“The idea is to open the boys’ eyes to different career opportunities out there.

From football they’ve got all these transferable skills which some of them don’t realise they have – like leadership and working as a team – that are easily applied in different areas.”
