Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 4, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 4, 2019 Careers in Racing, the British Horseracing Authority’s careers marketing campaign, has launched a Volunteer Career Maker program to mark National Careers Week. Its aim is to enable the racing industry to have a greater reach into schools on a national level and provide students with a greater understanding of the career and job opportunities available in the sport. The programme will use a network of volunteers, to be known as Career Makers, to share their experiences with students at careers fairs across the country so they can hear the many advantages of a career in racing first hand. The BHA’s Head of Careers and Marketing Recruitment, Zoe, Elliott, said, “The best people to talk about the great career opportunities that racing can provide are those who have experienced it for themselves or who have a genuine passion for the industry–that was the idea behind the career maker programme. “It also means as an industry we can be visible at more school events than ever before, and we have already had lots of applications from people who want to spread the word about how fulfilling working in our sport and with horses can be. “Launching the programme in National Career Week, when the industry is coming together to promote working in racing, is a great platform for us to spread the message both to recruit more volunteers and to encourage schools to get in touch with us about their events.
