Young Professionals Programme

The programme is designed to support the transition from the youth pathways into the equestrian workplace. Delivered in collaboration with British Dressage, British Eventing and British Showjumping, this Sport England-funded programme covers a broad range of topics essential to running a business.

The topics covered range from putting together contracts, employment law, insurance, and finances; to conflict management, communication skills and building a personal brand. A core element of the programme is to provide the cohort of young riders with the support they require to create their career development plan and gain insight into their approach and confidence in handling different situations that can occur in the workplace.
