27th February 2025 - Careers in Sport Live
Students were afforded an opportunity to attend Careers in Sport Live at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, London. Home to Brentford Football Club, the venue offered a modern and dynamic environment, making it an ideal location for aspiring sports professionals.
Industry professionals provided valuable career insights and guidance. Marcus Gayle (former professional footballer), Lorna Falconer (Brentford Football Club), David Chimbaza (DTCMedia) and Natalie-Mia Roach (Cardiff Metropolitan University) were just some of the professionals who spoke to our students to provide information, advice and guidance. Students got an insight into the inside business of a professional football club, which highlighted the many and varied career pathways that a football club needs to successfully operate. Advice was also given with regards to harnessing the power of social media to build your personal brand.
There was allocated time for networking, and meeting with universities, training providers and industry experts.
We were then given a tour of the stadium, much to the students’ delight! A brilliant day filled with information and learning, and some entertainment along the way.
