(Dec.09)
SkillsActive Outdoors Employers Group (OEG)
Call for Applications for Membership
(Closing date: Friday 15 January 2010, 5pm)
SkillsActive, the UK Sector Skills Council for the Active Leisure, Learning & Well-being sector (including the Outdoors/Adventure sector) seeks applications from individuals to become members of the important and influential SkillsActive Outdoors Employers Group.
SkillsActive’s footprint includes the Outdoors/Adventure (in all its guises), Sport, Health and Fitness, Playwork and the Caravan Parks industry.
As a Sector Skills Council, our role is to work closely with employers (and voluntary organisations) to help them be more successful through areas such as staff development, training and qualifications. For example, we ensure employers have access to fit for purpose qualifications and training.
SkillsActive acts as a conduit between employers/sectors and government (and related organisations and agencies) to ensure that government has a clear and current picture of the needs and issues of the sector. We work closely with NGBs, qualification awarding bodies, funding agencies and regional and national development agencies.
We are very firmly (and proudly!) a UK organisation and seek applications from employers (and others in the outdoors sector) from across the UK.
Please see the attached information which has all the background information about the OEG, its role, your potential role as a member and all the practical details, including the application process. The current “OEG Five Year Vision” document and the application form are also attached.
Please note, the first meeting of the new OEG takes place on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 at the SkillsActive offices in London. Further details and dates are in the “Background” document.
Further information can be found on our website ( www.skillsactive.com <http://www.skillsactive.com/> ).
Please feel free to contact us by phone (0114 292 2391) or email peter.thompson@skillsactive.com or kevyn.burns@skillsactive.com
Through the OEG and SkillsActive, you can make all the difference for the outdoors. We look forward to working with you.
