Work Placement Help!

[winter]

I'm currently on a degree course which involves me going on work placement. Last year I went to YMCA Lakeside for the summer. Although this was a brilliant place to go, my university won't allow me to go there again.

I have been searching for a place to apply to but I am running out of ideas. I'm enquiring on this website because I hope to find an activity group or centre which is very watersports based.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please please please let me know.

Thankyou!

Yep I will second OBU. We used to have loads of trainees. They will work you though.

Otherwise try the AALA licencing webpage for all the local centres and see whats out there.

Look At canoe focus jobpages for centres in the lakes/lancs

Try the Association of Heads of Outdoor Centres website which should give you a map showing the majority of centres in areas you are interested in.
