Russell Swannack - Sheffield Hallam University

As a recent graduate of Sheffield Hallam University, with BSc Honours in Sport Management, I undertook a placement at Sportworks to further my sports industry experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at Sportworks developing many new and existing skills.
 
Sportworks is a fantastic organisation providing great placement opportunities for students during their studies or after graduation. You will instantly feel like a member of the team, as everyone is friendly and approachable. Sportworks has a number of service areas ensuring each placement opportunity will interact with all areas of the business developing a much more rounded experience. My initial focus was within the Event Management field and as my placement progressed I developed a new understanding and passion for Logistics and Commercial Services as well as Sponsorship and Training and Development.
 
The office environment creates a great atmosphere to discuss and question sport industry practices and events. I would highly recommend Sportworks placements to all students looking to gain valuable and practical experience, which is essential for future job opportunities. Each student will learn from industry experts and utilise contacts across the sport sector. Whether your looking for experience in planning an event of delivering training, Sportworks make a great commitment to students and their development so I would really encourage students to take up the opportunities available at Sportworks.
