Oldham Active staff go back to school
Oldham Active is partnering with Oldham College to upskill its staff to provide specialist health and fitness support for local children and young people.
The partnership will initially see 30 members of Oldham Active’s workforce completing the specialist Level 2 Qualification in Leading Physical Activity for Adolescents at Oldham College.
This undertaking of the leisure provider is ahead of the launch of new young people-only group exercise classes.
The collaboration follows a rise in the number of young people signing up for a Young Person’s Membership, with 20% of Oldham Active’s total members aged 11-18 and one third of new members being a young person.
Oldham College offers a wide range of technical and professional qualifications, training around 4,500 teenage and adult students annually across a wide range of full and part-time courses, apprenticeships, T Levels and higher education opportunities.
The college will be putting the Oldham Active staff through the training to help the charitable leisure provider meet the demands of the community.
