A PEST analysis is used for this.
‘The PEST analysis is a useful tool for understanding market growth or decline, and as such the position, potential and direction for a business’
(Buissnessballs 2010).
This is my PEST analysis of my work placement (football academies).
| Criteria examples ecological/environmental current legislation future legislation international legislation regulatory bodies and processes government policies government term and change trading policies funding, grants and initiatives home market pressure- groups international pressure- groups wars and conflicts | Political CRB check Safeguarding Pension Legislations Data Protection Act Ofsted Equality And Diversity Student To Teacher Ratio | Economical Seasonal Economical Government funding Profit Vouchers College budget | Criteria examples home economy economy trends overseas economies general taxation taxation specific to product/services seasonality issues market/trade cycles specific industry factors market routes trends distribution trends customer/end-user drivers interest/ exchange rates international trade and monetary issues |

When I look deeper into the PEST analysis of my work placement chesterfield college football academies I found out according to John (2002) there needs to be one teacher per ten children which in my academies could be a huge problem due to illness of a teacher or an influx of children participating.
I have also looked into being a teacher and you have to acquire a CRB check
‘A CRB check is essential in safeguarding our children this is why it is required for every teacher to obtain one before they get the job’.
(Debra E. Gerald 2008).
When looking at the Economical part I have put down college budget this has a huge impact on my work placement as without money for the team bus the football team would not be able to play away matches or get training equipment.
Amount of staff is a major problem because the teachers rely on volunteers like me to help run the football academies.
The social side includes group dynamics, role models, religion and presentation. Role models is very important it can come from leading football stars to the teacher who is taking the football class. Its important to act right as you often see the children copying the footballers they see on TV. Presentation is needed to look more like a team and everyone is treated like an equal not individuals.
Looking at the technology aspects such as training equipment, which is vital for our football team to make us more competitive and to produce better players for our county. Also using different teaching methods is a good way to learn more techniques as just using one teacher’s methods can become tedious and players wont learn as much.
