The Sports sector offers a range of careers in performance, training and treatment, recreation and support and business and media entertainment. Young people enjoy Sports, but do not often realize the endless career opportunities that are affiliated with Sports, beyond competing.
The Sport SHSM gives students an opportunity to specialize, gain qualifications, and plan a career pathway in various areas of the sports sector while still in high school. The SHSM Program has a number of required components, designed to give students a “leg-up” to pursue post-secondary opportunities in each of the identified sectors, valuing apprenticeship, college, community, university and the workplace.
