Club Committee Training
Club committee training is of paramount importance for the efficient functioning and success of EUSU’s sport programs. These committees play a vital role in organizing, promoting, and managing various sporting events. We want to ensure club committee’s have the right knowledge and skills to have successful seasons on and off the field of play.
Training empowers committee members and encourages effective leadership and management of their clubs. This includes fixture planning, budgeting, communication, leadership, teamwork and club culture.
EUSU Learning & Development Week (w/c 24th March)
Edinburgh University Sports Union is excited to launch this years Learning & Development Week. We welcome all new and returning club committee members and encourage them to get involved and upskill themselves ahead of the coming year on committee.
While a university degree provides students with essential knowledge in their chosen field, undertaking additional learning and development is crucial for enhancing employability. Employers increasingly seek well-rounded candidates who possess not only academic expertise but also practical skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability.
In addition to role-specific training sessions delivered by the Sports Union staff team and Exec, we have a variety of additional learning opportunities:
- Alan Peddie, Sustainability Training Manager at the University, will give an overview of what sustainability looks like and how clubs can get involved in sustainability projects
- Jono Eliott, Founder of Team Improvus, will deliver a session on leadership skills, authentic leadership and having difficult conversations, for Presidents, VPs and Team Captains.
- Alex Turnbull from add.victor will deliver a session on CV, Interview and Application Skills, to support students in taking the next step in their career journey
- Our 2025/26 kit supplier, to be announced, will also be hosting a session on working with them to design the right kit for your sport, and ordering ahead of the summer break.
- There will also be an information session for anyone interested in participating in the Volunteer Zambia project, which seeks out sports coaches, social media officers and enterprise officers.
