Getting Started Guide
We have prepared everything you need to host a field trip, including a breakdown of resources and step by step checklists to help you along the way.
Lesson Plans
These lesson plans have been designed and reviewed extensively with the help of STEM Learning so they are suitable for the UK education environment. The aim of these resources is to introduce young people to the career opportunities available in golf and the skills and knowledge required to do these jobs. This set of 13 activities has been designed to give greenkeepers, some ideas on how to run some STEM based sessions for pupils aged 9 to 11 and students aged 11-14.
Greenkeeping Career Promotional Resources
Attending career fairs and events at schools and colleges is a fantastic way to promote greenkeeping as a career in your local community.
Keep an eye on this page for the latest updates on careers fairs and ways you can participate. Meanwhile, we’ve made some eye-catching resources that you can download and print to take with you. If you have any suggestions for other helpful materials, feel free to reach out to Jenny at [email protected]
Posters
We designed these posters to illustrate how diverse a career in greenkeeping can be. They look fantastic when showcased at career fairs and similar events.
