Coach Core Sussex Employer Online Showcase Event

Are you looking to strengthen your workforce, broaden your impact and help tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity across Sussex?

Join Active Sussex for the Coach Core Sussex Employer Showcase, an online event for organisations interested in becoming part of the fourth Coach Core Sussex apprenticeship cohort, launching in summer 2026.

Coach Core delivers an inclusive and impactful sports coaching apprenticeship, helping to build a diverse, skilled and community-focused workforce. The programme supports young people into meaningful employment while helping organisations embed inclusive practice, grow capacity and contribute to Getting Sussex Moving strategic priorities.

During the session, you’ll hear directly from existing Coach Core employers and apprentices, who will share their lived experiences and the difference apprentices have made within their organisations and local communities.

The event will also cover:

• How the Coach Core apprenticeship works locally in Sussex, including the consortium approach and employer support

• Workforce benefits, including skills development, capacity building and inclusive delivery

• Financial commitments, funding and support available

• Employer requirements and expectations, including role design and outcomes

• Programme length, structure and qualification pathways

Whether you’re new to apprenticeships or already exploring Coach Core, this event will help you understand how the programme supports workforce sustainability, inclusive employment and community impact — and how your organisation can get involved.

Who should attend?

• Sports clubs, community organisations and physical activity providers

• Local authorities, trusts and charities

• Schools, colleges and education providers

• Leisure operators and sport-for-development organisations

• Any Sussex-based employer interested in developing an inclusive workforce and supporting young people into employment
