From the pitch to the job market: a scoping review of sport-for-employability programmes

Managing Sport and Leisure

Rationale There has been growing recognition of the potential for sport to contribute to development, and employability has emerged as one of the core thematic areas of sport for development (SFD). However, we have a limited overview of SFD programmes and their contributions to employability. As such, the following review seeks to summarise current literature on the topic and answer three related questions: (1) who delivers programmes and what groups are targeted?; (2) what sport and non-sport activities are used?; and (3) what competencies are developed or targeted through these programmes?
