Careers in Racing Youth Collaboration Group

Be part of our Youth Collaboration Group

Careers in Racing have launched a ‘Youth Collaboration Group’ inviting young people to come forward and be part of this new group – the first of its kind in the sport of Horseracing. Working collaboratively with young people to help shape what Careersinracing use to market content to the next generation of people that want to work in our sport.

Not only will members of the Youth Collaboration Group have a real say in shaping the direction of how careers in racing are marketed to younger audiences, but they will also gain valuable transferable skills to support their own career development.

What to expect

All members of the group will receive a careersinracing skills passport, which will detail what they have achieved during their time on the group – ranging from proofreading and copy editing, through to video reviewing and participation in online video conferencing. They will also have an opportunity to consider how they are developing other essential skills via a new partnership careersinracing has entered with the Skills Builder Partnership.

We want to build a team of young people who really understand what we are trying to achieve, and who can give us some honest feedback, and co-create some of our initiatives. At the same time, we want to support them in developing work-ready skills to enhance their CVs.

We have over 30 members now who have assisted on Podcasts Topics, Merchandise design, Industry workshop and panel events, Racing Staff Week & our Explore Racing Days.

Creating Content has become a big part of the YCG. Be it Instagram Take-Overs, TikToks, Tours, behind the scenes content or days on course, the YCG have been able to explore the media world in a big way adding some fun to our social platforms. We have a big mix in the group from racing fans, pony racers, people who have been through the British Racing School & National Horseracing College, British Horseracing Development Programme & Racing Media Academy!
