Kangoo Jumps become latest Employer Champion

The Diploma in Sport and Active Leisure DDP are very pleased to announce Kangoo Jumps as the latest name to show their support for the Diploma, and join the Diploma Employer Champions Network (DECN).

Kangoo Jumps are 'The World's Lowest Impact Sports Shoe.'  A new sports 'mobile rebound exercise.'  Absorbing 80% of the impact during running, sports rehabilitation, injury preventation, school physical education classes, home fitness or just for pure fun.  Kangoo Jumps are also proud to be Business Honours Club Members with the Youth Sports Trust and partners with Sainsbury's Active Kids campaign and Fit For Sport's 'Ian Wright's Fitter Families' and 'Roger Black's Fitter Schools Challange.'

The latest addition of Kangoo Jumps to the Diploma Employer Champions Network is part of a current recruitment drive for the Diploma in Sport and Active Leisure in preparation for first delivery in September.  It is part of a wider push to generate employer support from varied industry backgrounds that can offer support to consortia in the lead up to and beyond first teaching. 

Paul A. Clarkson, CEO of Kangoo Jumps UK, said: With this Diploma in place, I’m sure that it will encourage more young people into education and into this wide and varied industry.  Where they can experience so many different areas of sport and leisure and grow from it and build on their own potential and become valued employees.  As a company we want ‘more young people to be more active more often’ and this Diploma will provide that opportunity within the industry and jobs market.

Sue Hook, the DDP lead for the Diploma in Sport and Active Leisure said, “We are delighted to add Kangoo Jumps to the growing list of Employers who are recognising the potential of the Diploma in Sport and Active Leisure by signing up as official supporters. The increasing employer engagement and support for the Diploma sends out a very positive message to all young people thinking of taking the new Diploma in Sport and Active Leisure as one of their options in September 2010. Kangoo Jumps are quickly establishing themselves within the health and fitness industry and have a growing presence amongst schools and colleges.  Their support will increase the awareness of the Diploma in Sport and Active Leisure amongst key industry employers and demonstrates that the Diploma has backing across the sector.”
