Players from across the PCA membership were invited to HAYS Recruitment for a CV and Interview Skills Workshop.
The Official Recruitment partner of the players’ association hosted players and staff at their flagship UK office at Cheapside, London.
The workshop, hosted by HAYS Managing Director Chetan Petal, aimed to assist players in preparing for what they want to pursue as a career after their playing days finish.
Alongside interview techniques and equipping players with skills for the next steps in their careers, the attendees had a personal one-on-one CV writing session with a HAYS recruiter.
The longstanding partnership between the PCA and recruitment experts HAYS, enables the players’ union to help upskill members, allowing them to gain vital insights into the world of work from the HAYS experts.
Internationally capped players Sam Robson, Mark Stoneman and Fred Klaassen were joined by Josh Cobb, James Hayes, Tom Loten and Camerson Steel at the HAYS workshop, as players ranging from 23 to 37-years-old gained vital experience in looking to future careers.
During PCA Futures Week, which takes place annually in the first week of November and forms part of the PCA’s Futures initiatives, the PCA recognises members who have taken steps towards building a second career.
Headlining the week is the Futures Conference which takes place on 6-7 November at the England football team’s training base, St George’s Park.
Planning for a career after playing is crucial with the average age of a released player over the last five years being under 26.
