Racing Welfare's Careers Advice and Training Service (CATS) have opened the entries for their inaugural CATS Personal Development Award.  The CATS team are also delighted to announce that the award will be sponsored by Hartpury University.

The CATS Personal Development Award aims to recognise the person who has put the most dedication and effort into developing their career in racing after using the CATS service.  The judges will be looking for someone who has been proactive and has taken every opportunity available to develop themselves in the racing industry.

Entries close Monday, Oct. 4, after which three finalists will be invited to an awards lunch at the final meeting of the season at Newmarket Racecourse Friday, Oct. 29, at which the winner will be announced.  Click here to find out more about the awards and to make an entry visit.

CATS, which is generously funded by the Racing Foundation, was launched in 2017 and, to date, the service has supported over 350 racing industry staff with their career development.

The service, which is available to everyone working in the British horseracing industry, provides practical assistance to help with professional development, job seeking skills, returning to work and changing career within the industry. Alongside providing funding for training, CATS can also help people looking to transfer to a career in racing or to return to the sport after a period away.
