A Successful Sports Placement
LCBS postgraduate student, Paul Kaerger, has been on placement with Paralympic high jumper Jonathan Broom-Edwards. Amongst his many sporting achievements, Jonathan has been awarded three World Championship silver medals and one Paralympic silver medal.
During his ECP, Paul was asked to explore the ways the Paralympian can attract sponsorship from interested businesses, and to research companies who suit the target market of the athlete.
Of his ECP, Paul has said “I have enjoyed meeting Jonathan, learning what it takes to be a successful athlete and learning about the challenges that top-level athletes face has been very rewarding.”. Paul also said “the ECP has been a great opportunity to engage with a sports organisation to further my experience of working in the sports sector”.
With our latest cohort going out on their placements this week, watch this space as we follow the progress of our students.
