Careers in Racing Youth Collaboration Group

Careers in Racing have launched a ‘Youth Collaboration Group’ inviting young people to come forward and be part of this new group – the first of its kind in the sport of Horseracing. All members of the group will receive a Careers in Racing skills passport, which will detail what they have achieved during their time on the group – ranging from proofreading and copy editing, through to video reviewing and participation in online video conferencing. They will also have an opportunity to consider how they are developing other essential skills via a new partnership Careers in Racing has entered with the Skills Builder Partnership. We want to build a team of young people who really understand what we are trying to achieve, and who can give us some honest feedback, and co-create some of our initiatives. At the same time, we want to support them in developing work-ready skills to enhance their CVs. We have over 30 members now who have assisted this year on Podcasts Topics, hoodies design, Grand National content, International Women’s Day, Racing Staff Week & Explore Racing Days. Creating Content has become a big part of the YCG. Be it Instagram Take-Overs, TikToks, Tours, behind the scenes content or days on course, the YCG have been able to explore the media world in a big way adding some fun to our social platforms. We have a big mix in the group so join us. Members of the group have been accepted into the 14-16 program at the National Horseracing College, paid intern jobs, the BHA Development Programme, Racing Media Academy and even writing for national newspapers!
