The Racing Academy and Centre of Education seems to me, to be the place to go in Ireland if your passion is for being trained and employed in the horse racing industry.
RACE offers training and qualifications relating to:
– trainee jockeys
– racing grooms
– trainers
– the breeding industry
– stable staff
– farriery
– equine transport
They also offer career planning within the equine industry in the form of a four week course and adult education is on offer as night classes.
The page that really took my eye relates to an Equine Transport License – http://www.racingacademy.ie/content.asp?ID=73 – I had no idea you could have a piece of paper relating to such a job!
On the site – http://www.racingacademy.ie/ – you will find informaiton regarding the structure of the courses, background and entry requirements. There is also an IT sector to keep the hands on workers of this industry tech savvy which could come in handy for such a job as a stud or trainer’s secretary. A list of possible careers within the industry can be found at http://www.racingacademy.ie/content.asp?id=45.
If you live in this gorgeous green country and love racing or want to work with horses, consider the industry that truly is flourishing, upgrading it’s workers and offering better rates of pay than other hands on equine jobs.
“A career in racing will never be dull – it is as much a way of life as a job!”
