Leisurejobs.com Offers Advice to Students with New <br>Leisure Industry Graduate Pack

Leisurejobs.com has created a comprehensive graduate pack, the only one of its kind for the sector. The pack, available free for students to download or anyone wanting to know more about the industry, serves to inform and guide consumers through the wealth of career opportunities in the burgeoning leisure industry.

The pack covers:
ï Travel & Tourism - including seasonal jobs
ï Health & Fitness - including sports and recreation
ï Spa & Beauty
ï Licensed Retail (Pubs & Bars)

Eight overviews of each leisure sector, 26 job descriptions, salary ranges and a guide to personality types that suit the roles combine to create a document that provides a simple-to-follow career guide. Each job description is illustrated with a smart star guide that indicates at a glance what roles offer the best prospects, salaries, qualifications, inter-transferable skills and which leisure industry sector the role can be found in.

The Industry in Figures
With the UK leisure industry becoming increasingly important to our economy, contributing 10% of UK gross domestic product to the economy and employing 13.5% of all workers (over three million people), this is a sector that offers serious career opportunities.

The last decade has seen the leisure industry grow from the traditional health, fitness and travel sectors into seasonal work, recreation, spa & beauty and the new generation of health clubs which now include cinemas, bowling, restaurants and spaís in addition to the standard fitness facilities. This means that managers of these types of facilities have to be capable of running many different types of departments simultaneously.

The Expert
Leading industry expert Scott Lloyd, Managing Director of David Lloyd Leisure, Next Generation Clubs & Chelsea Harbour Club comments, ìJust a decade ago the leisure industry was simpleÖ.. It covered fitness and management with administration and sales support. In recent years we have seen this industry flourish with dozens of diverse careers available in this sector.

ìColleges and universities have taken note that a career in leisure is as serious a career opportunity as IT or teaching and more courses in this sector have been developed as a result. I am delighted to endorse Leisurejobs new Graduate Pack.î

Marc Moreso, MD of Leisurejobs says of the new pack, ìWe have pooled our years of experience to help ensure students, who may be unsure of their career choice, make an informed and measured decision. Additionally, we are pleased to offer a free resource that doesnít stop at the Graduate Pack. If the pack doesnít answer a query we are always at the end of an email or telephone to help with any advice.î
