DRUFC are proud to help the younger members of our club with some employment and careers advice. There are some who know what they want to do from a very young age, and others who struggle to know where to start a career. The objective is to try and help the ones who are less certain make good decisions. The fact that some may stay local, and continue to play rugby for Driffield, is an added benefit !
At our club we have a network of over 100 companies that are sponsors and advertisers with us. All these organisations, from time to time, are looking for talented people to join their businesses. We have reached out to these companies and know of several varied positions that are available. Some of these are full-time positions, while others are graduate training opportunities. If any members have positions available within their organisations, then we can add these to the list too.
We are also lucky enough to have senior people in many different professions and businesses who are happy to pass on their expertise, help with preparing CVs and general employment advice.
If you feel like you, or anyone else you may know, might benefit from these services or just want an initial chat, please get in touch Kerry in the club office.
