Employability Project
Active Dorset County Sports Partnership teamed up with a host of partners to deliver an inspiring new Sailing project that offered unemployed people the chance to become Sailing instructors.
Sail Laser, the Chesil Trust, The Royal Yachting Association (RYA), Synergy Housing and the Department of Work and Pensions were all involved in the project that took place at Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy; the venue for the Sailing and Windsurfing at the 2012 Olympics.
Fifteen candidates were offered the chance to complete their level 1 &2 qualifications in sailing. Following the intial week-long training coures 5 of the candidates were put forward for instructor training, funded by the RYA & Synergy Housing.
