The EU golf industry is growing fast and employers need well trained employees able to match the requirements of a more demanding and socially diverse clientele. Golf is unique amongst sports in the size and diversity of its labour market. A large number of qualifications exist in the golf industry, some are recognised in national qualification systems (UK and Netherlands) and some others are purely sector-based. New golf markets have emerged in recent years particularly in Southern and Eastern Europe and there exists a gap at European level between the competencies required by golf employers and the learning outcomes acquired by graduate/employees through training. These new markets lack quality initial vocational training relevant to golf employers’ needs. In established golf markets, training processes are focused on learning inputs. The purpose and objective of the project have been discussed with the partnership during the development of the project and in accordance with the strong request expressed by the sector for the need to develop some European Occupational Standards. Indeed, they have identified a gap between the competences requested from the labour market and the learning outcomes delivered by the training providers and so those innovative outcomes should improve and make easier the movement between education and employment but also ensure the development of a competent workforce with the right skills in the golf industry. The implementation of those European Standards into national VET systems will enhance the attractiveness of VET, reinforce the cooperation between stakeholders and the link with employers, the transparency of the qualifications and their recognition which will strengthen the mobility of highly skilled workers with clear occupational pathways and the transferability of their skills and competences.The expected impact envisaged is that golf will embrace a Lifelong Learning Strategy and endorse a common quality assurance framework for its qualifications across EU. These achievements will enhance the attractiveness of VET, will reinforce cooperation between stakeholders and the link with employers, the transparency of the qualifications and their recognition which will strengthen the mobility of highly skilled workers with clear occupational pathways and the transferability of their skills and competencies.
