Nominations for the Careers Advice and Training Service (CATS) Personal Development Award, sponsored by Hartpurty University, are now open, Racing Welfare announced on Wednesday. The award recognises the person who has put the most dedication and effort into developing their career in racing after using the CATS service. The judging panel will be looking for someone who has been proactive and taken every opportunity available to develop themselves in the racing industry. The deadline to nominate is on Friday, Sept. 30, with three finalists shortlisted by the judges and invited to lunch for the winners' presentation at Newmarket Racecourse on Friday, Oct. 28. To find out more, or submit a nomination, please visit the CATS section of the Racing Welfare website.
Catherine Porter, Head of Hartpury University's Equine Department, said, “It is a pleasure to continue our support of the CATS Personal Development Award for another year. The calibre of entrants for last year's award were high, and we are very much looking forward to hearing the stories of those nominated this year. Our partnerships with organisations within the horseracing industry allow us to continue to develop qualifications that enhance the career prospects of students at Hartpury and to lead best practice for horses, riders and professionals.”
