Cap Métiers Nouvelle-Aquitaine has released three summaries on professions in sports, animation, leisure, and social links, revealing a dynamic sector employing over 40,000 professionals in the region.

The sports, animation, leisure, and social link sector plays a significant role in New Aquitaine, contributing to territorial dynamism and the well-being of the population. It brings together over 40,000 professionals, representing approximately 1.6% of regional employment, and comprises more than 14,400 establishments, the majority of which are without employees. This sector has shown a growth dynamic in recent years.
In the short term, nearly 9,850 recruitment projects are identified within professions associated with this sector, with about two-thirds specifically concerning socio-cultural animation. Regionally, the rate of recruitment projects deemed difficult (45%) remains below the overall regional average for all professions (50%). However, these challenges are more pronounced in certain departments, particularly in Corrèze, Creuse, and Vienne.
Several factors explain these recruitment difficulties, such as employment conditions (unusual hours, seasonality, remuneration), a lack of qualified candidates, or issues with the availability of sought-after profiles. Furthermore, New Aquitaine offers a diverse range of training programs, from CAP to Bac + 5 levels, supplemented by CQP certifications, accessible through vocational schooling and apprenticeships.
Cap Métiers provides detailed summaries to inform professionals and the general public about these professions, available training, and recruitment prospects in the region.
