The Impact of Engagement in Sport on Graduate Employability

Graduate Employability Research commissioned by British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) shows the positive impact that sport has on graduate employability,

This research revealed that the average salary of graduates who engaged with sport at university is £32,552, compared with £26,728 for those who did not, and more than half (51 per cent) of graduates said sporting involvement has helped them develop team work skills and leadership qualities in the workplace.

Employers also recognised the benefits of sport in developing career-enhancing qualities, with more than nine in 10 (94 per cent) of those questioned identifying a clear link between university sport participation and valuable skills and strengths in potential employees.
