HITZ is Premiership Rugby’s award winning education and employability programme. HITZ uses rugby’s core values of teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship to get young people not in education, training or employment (NEET) back into education, training, apprenticeships and/or employment.

Our HITZ learning academy offers a relaxed learning environment for young people ages 16 – 24 years old to improve their functional Maths and English, develop valuable life skills and gain important qualifications alongside experience from work placements and employer-led workshops. The programme also provides essential enrichment and sporting activities which supports both mental and physical wellbeing.

Participants of the HITZ programme regularly report an increase in resilience, self-confidence and aspiration as a result of their involvement, and 70% go on to achieve a positive progression into further education, training or employment.
