Those who embrace personal development as well as alternative interests, employment, education or training, equip themselves to excel as football players and for life off the pitch. Our Progression strategy aims to provide life skills, information, advice, guidance, support and opportunities to contribute to personal growth.

Information, Advice, Guidance & Support

Start

LFE recognises that there are a number of pathways learners want to take post-study programme and we want to ensure that all possible information is made available. In order to do this, LFE has invested in the online tool Start. This houses up to date information, as well as video testimonials, on all major employment sectors, with an extensive range of job roles and requirements explained.

Tracking and Monitoring

Collecting detailed learner destination data at the end of the study programme has helped LFE develop and promote a range of partnerships and opportunities for learners. This work is conducted and managed by LFE’s Transition Officer and continues for 12 months after learners leave their programme.

Thinking about Studying for a Degree?

You may now be starting to think for the first time about developing yourself as more than a footballer. This process in itself is quite daunting but if you are thinking of or considering going to University and making the step into Higher Education, it is important to explore how your studies may fit into your long term personal development and career aims.

UCAS is an independent charity providing information, advice, and admissions services to inspire and facilitate educational progression. They’re core business is admissions to full-time undergraduate education.
