Only in-house teams, right? However, faced with conflicting priorities and limited resources this is simply no longer a viable solution (if it ever was), and we need to look outside our own four walls for a better solution.<\/p>\n<p>In the sport and physical activity sector alone we have an exceptional cohort of training providers, consultants, learning technologies and awarding organisations that can meet our ever-increasing needs.<\/p>\n<p>By collaborating with and developing robust partnerships with learning organisations &#8211; and even other employers &#8211; we can meet the needs of today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it is leadership development, apprenticeships or onboarding of new staff, if we focus on creating collaborative relationships with true partners we can take the sector forward and create a truly desirable place to work.<\/p>\n<p>Partnership is key, and is one of the topics we\u2019ll be discussing at ukactive\u2019s forthcoming <a
