FORE HIRE, a golf industry talent acquisition company, has announced the launch of its “Women Who Want to Work in Golf” program. The program is aimed at former and current college golfers who are interested in pursuing a career in the golf industry. It provides a unique opportunity for education, professional development, career advancement, and direct connection to potential employers. The program is designed to increase awareness of the availability of talented women looking to enter the golf business.
The program’s sessions are scheduled for May 21-23 in Scottsdale, Arizona, in conjunction with the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship. PGA Career Services and PING are presenting partners, and Moon Golf is supporting FORE HIRE in its women’s initiatives. The Women’s Golf Coaches Association also collaborated on the program’s creation.
To be eligible for the program, applicants must have played women’s college golf at any level during their college career and must be seeking full-time employment.
Women of all ages are encouraged to apply by clicking HERE, with the application deadline set for Wednesday, March 22, at 6 p.m. ET. Up to 30 women will be accepted into the first program.
Stacey Solheim Pauwels, PING Executive Vice President, said that when FORE HIRE founder Courtney Trimble approached them to host the first FORE HIRE event, it was an easy decision. PING has a long history of supporting women both on and off the golf course, and Courtney’s vision fits perfectly with their brand values. She further added that PING is excited to highlight the many career paths and opportunities for women interested in working in the golf industry.
The program aims to raise awareness of the many job opportunities available within the industry, increase understanding of the skills necessary to secure specific positions, and provide an opportunity to network and connect to employment opportunities. As participation in golf continues to grow, the demand for industry companies to expand their workforce has also grown. College golfers’ ability to play the game at a high level makes them even more marketable to potential employers, according to PGA Career Services Senior Director Scott Kmiec.
The program will consist of attending the NCAA Women’s Division I Golf Championship, a behind-the-scenes look at PING Headquarters, roundtable networking sessions with key industry professionals, a panel discussion from golf companies and organizations, as well as updated headshots, resume updates, and mock interview sessions. Selected participants will receive a stipend for travel, hotel, meals, and entertainment.
In conclusion, FORE HIRE’s “Women Who Want to Work in Golf” program is an excellent opportunity for women interested in pursuing a career in the golf industry. It provides education, professional development, and networking opportunities that can lead to career advancement and employment in the golf industry. The program is well-timed, considering the growing demand for a skilled workforce in the golf industry.
