WRU Apprenticeship expression of interest for 2024/2025
The Welsh Rugby Union Group (WRU) are proud to offer a fantastic opportunity for young people to express an interest in joining our apprenticeship programme.
The WRU Rugby Development apprenticeship programme provides young people with recognised qualifications, new skills, knowledge, and a wealth of experience working as a Rugby Development Apprentice. It can give the opportunity to discover the various University courses that may appeal based on real experience gained through the programme. As a 12-month employment programme, the apprenticeship also provides the opportunity to explore various options of career pathways utilising the wide network the WRU Group can offer
During the 12-month programme, you will study a ‘Foundation in Sport Management & Development’ (subject to validation) with Cardiff Metropolitan University and the Welsh Rugby Union. You will also be required to complete a range of rugby and sport related technical qualifications and CPD (Continued Professional Development).
You will be supported by the WRU Apprenticeship Officer, assessors, and mentors.
A large proportion of our apprentice graduates have been accepted into university for courses such as Sport Management, coaching & development and successful completion of the apprenticeship foundation course will also open opportunities within Cardiff Metropolitan University. Also, a proportion have become School Club Hub Officers and some past graduates are now full-time rugby officers with the WRU and Regions.
Many employers mention the life skills apprentices learn on the job are a huge benefit in terms of understanding being ‘employed’ speaking in front of groups of all ages and demonstrating a level of confidence and a professional attitude above their years.
