Job Summary:
The Welsh Rugby Union Group (WRU) are proud to offer a fantastic opportunity for young people to join our apprenticeship programme. We are looking for dynamic young people who demonstrate a ‘can do’ attitude, willingness to try new things and display our values in all that they do.
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.

During the 12 month programme, you will work towards a Level 3 (Extended Certificate and Diploma) in Sport Development and will also be required to complete a range of rugby related technical qualifications. You will be supported and mentored by WRU development staff and receive pastoral assistance from the WRU Apprenticeship Officer.

This Apprenticeship is also a stepping stone for someone who is undecided if University is an option for them and can give the time to discover the various choice of courses that may appeal and can be based on an apprentices experience through the programme. This gives 12 months of employment experience and the opportunity to explore various options of career pathways utilising the wide network the WRU Group can offer. It also gives someone a chance to experience the world of sports development whilst achieving a Level 3 qualification. It is not aimed at Graduates.

For this enriching 12 month experience you will receive £8,040 plus expenses.
