South Sydney Rabbitohs and TAFE NSW Launch Groundbreaking Education Pathway
The South Sydney Rabbitohs, in collaboration with TAFE NSW, proudly announce the launch of the Rabbitohs Institute of Sports Management, powered by TAFE NSW - Sydney’s premier accredited education pathway in sports management, set to commence in February 2025.
Designed to cultivate the next generation of sports leaders, the program will immerse students in theoretical learning complemented by 100 hours of practical work experience across various departments at the state-of-the-art USANA Rabbitohs Centre in Maroubra. This new facility will serve as the epicentre for learning and development, blending traditional classroom instruction with online modules to accommodate flexible learning schedules, all with the support of a leading Australian sporting organisation in the South Sydney Rabbitohs and a leading vocational education and training provider in TAFE NSW.
South Sydney Rabbitohs CEO, Blake Solly"We are thrilled to unveil this pioneering initiative in collaboration with TAFE NSW, By combining academic rigour with real-world application within our dynamic sports organisation, we aim to empower students with the skills and expertise needed to thrive in the competitive sports industry."
Blake Solly"We have over 116 years of history backing our Club and its business, coupled with the unrivalled educational delivery of TAFE NSW. Students wishing to learn whilst ensconced within one of the country’s leading sports organisations could not ask for any better opportunity than the Rabbitohs Institute of Sports Management.”
Upon successful completion of the Diploma of Sport, Aquatics and Recreation Management and the Diploma of Leadership and Management (SIS50122 / BSB50420), participants will gain access to nationally recognised diploma-to-degree pathways, providing a solid foundation for future career advancements.
A cornerstone of the program’s commitment to student success is the Rabbitohs’ pledge to hire a minimum of two graduates from each cohort into graduate roles across diverse organisational departments.
Furthermore, students who fulfill their 100 hours of work-integrated learning may be eligible for casual employment opportunities during their course of study, enhancing their practical skills and professional networks.
Dr Raf Marcellino, Executive Director of Education and Skills at TAFE NSW"Students will emerge from the program well-prepared to lead in the sports industry.
