The Business of Football

In February our Year 12 Business students were invited to Port Vale FC for a visit and to learn about the "Business of Football." Students were given an introductory talk about the Club and the work that they do with the Port Vale Foundation and their Community Engagement Programme.

The group were then treated to an in-depth tour of the ground and its facilities, and later discovered more about other key roles at the Club, such Security, Media, Marketing, and Diversity and Inclusion.

The managers of these different functions were able to give the students an insight into their roles and responsibilities.

It turns out the business of football isn't actually just about football!

The visit had been organised by Education and Employability Manager, Nicola Stanway. We would like to thank Nicola and all of the Port Vale FC team for being so generous with their time on Friday.
