On October 27, the first meeting of the Sector Skills Alliance for Fitness and Physical Activity took place. The new body is made up of a wide range of stakeholders, organizations and strategic partners from across the fitness and physical activity sector. The aim of the body is to identify sector-specific labor market needs and support the fitness and physical activity sector in addressing its most pressing challenges.
Thus, this first meeting provided a unique opportunity to bring together key representatives of independent fitness professionals and employer organizations, members of education and training systems and other key stakeholders to improve cooperation and coordination at European level for the benefit of the sector.
A mix of breakout sessions and insightful presentations from several participants stimulated a fruitful exchange of trends around the topic of workforce qualification. The outcomes of the meeting will contribute significantly to EuropeActive’s skills strategy to ensure the continuous development and professionalization of the workforce in the European fitness and exercise sector.
