Four course managers offer advice on how to progress your career.

During this podcast we discuss ways in which you can progress your career, not only through your BIGGA membership, but also through industry networking opportunities.

All of the panelists have been participated in the Future Turf Managers Initiative, either as a candidate or a mentor (or both) and will be chatting about how this experience has helped them to achieve some of their career goals.

 

Watch this relaxed and informative discussion and go away inspired to continue on your own career journey.

 

Panellists: Lee Strutt MG CGCS MS, Les Bordes GC; James Bledge, Royal Cinque Ports GC; Dave Stewart, Walmley GC (soon to be Great Barr GC) and Tim Brewster, Lewes GC.

FTMI

Jacobsen and BIGGA recognise the importance of preparing greenkeepers to take on the role of Head Greenkeeper or Course Manager. The Future Turf Managers Initiative (FTMI) has been designed to provide practical tools and guidance, to help candidates to pursue their career aspirations through this professional development conference.

Working with professional trainers, mentors, Jacobsen and BIGGA staff, the candidates will leave FTMI with a clear understanding of what the future holds and a realistic overview of the expectations that come with the role of Manager.

FTMI will take place at Ransomes Jacobsen's headquarters in Ipswich during April 2021, with COVID-19 safety protocols in place and adhering to all the latest guidance and restrictions to ensure a safe event.
