The PGA is a partner in the EU-funded Golf Stand project, which is a unique consortium combining 17 national and EU organisations from 10 different member states involved in the golf, wider sports and education sectors.
The project brings together for the first time from across the EU a strong mix of recognised stakeholders with varied competences including public authorities concerned with education and sport, two national qualifications authorities, sectoral associations combining both established and emerging golf labour markets, social partners and other key stakeholders, such as three of the EU's leading golf training providers.
The full list of expected outcomes from this ongoing collaboration can be summarised as follows:
- The Industry Occupational Map for the Golf sector in Europe
- The Industry Occupational Descriptions for the whole Golf Industry in Europe
- The Industry Functional Map for the whole Golf sector in EU
- The work based Competence Framework for Golf Professionals in Europe
