More information about Training for Work

Training for Work provides the chance to work in some of Glasgow's most iconic sports venues. We deliver relevant qualifications and vocational training that meet employers' criteria.

This programme is perfect for young adults looking to break into the sport and leisure industry.

Benefits of the programme:

  • Participants receive a training allowance of £55 per week.
  • Complimentary Glasgow Club gym membership for the duration of the programme
  • SQA Certificate of Work Readiness Qualification, which is recognised by employers.
  • Opportunities to complete the STA Pool Lifeguard qualification.

The programme involves four weeks face-to-face learning with venue specific training and the chance to take part in some fun sporting activities. This is for 4 days per week between 10am and 3pm.

After this, participants will complete a 6-week work placement at one of our leisure centres.


“Before the training for work programme I had not long left school and started college doing construction. It didn’t work out and I was stuck with no job or college course. This course honestly helped me build a career path that I will be forever thankful for.”
