ESSA SPORT

The European Sector Skills Alliance for Sport and Physical Activity will deliver the first EU wide Employment and Skills map of the sport and physical activity sector across the 28 Member States – a sector of huge economic and social significance where new businesses and jobs are being created and new skills are needed to match the expectation from the labour market.

ESSA-Sport is a transnational initiative, funded under Erasmus+ and coordinated by the European Observatoire of Sport and Employment (EOSE)with a supporting partnership of 18 national partners and 5 EU networks.

The sector is growing and changing, with increasing expectations to improve health, develop people and communities and provide employment, yet we know very little about the size and structure of employment and the skills needed to work in the sector.

ESSA-Sport aims to address this gap and provide the first comprehensive employment and skills map to help the strategic development of the sector.
