Further Information: TWS Impact awards 2015 coaching bursary
Summary:
Project Aims: To support workforce development in the volunteer sport sector.
Adding to the already successful TWS coaching bursary scheme, the project provides volunteer coaches with the opportunity to access heavily subsidised or free governing body Level 1 and Level 2 coaching awards in a range of sports.
Delivery Method:
TWS worked in partnership with Newcastle College to access European Social Funding and enabled a coordinated delivery of 20 National Governing Bodies coaching courses for volunteer coaches across the region. A Training Needs Analysis was undertaken in December 2014 with clubs and NGBs to determine the workforce needs of local clubs. The results of the TNA survey were usedby the Coaching Development Manager to create a workforce plan detailing a number of level 1 and level 2 coaching courses within Tyne & Wear between January 2015 –July 2015.
