JT will be providing wifi and digital equipment to Jersey’s new elite sports academy.
St. Peter-based Strive, which is due to open next month, will use JT’s Managed Wi-Fi service throughout the premises.
As well as providing an elite exercise and training zone, the sports complex - which will next month host the British and Irish Lions for a training camp - is also aiming to develop the skills of young people through its Academy programme.
As sponsors of the Strive Academy Education Room, JT has also provided the digital equipment required to support the Academy’s health and fitness education programme.
The programme will aim to teach students how sport ties in with leading healthier lifestyles and give them the knowledge and ability so that they can inspire their families and friends to lead healthier lifestyles.
“We recognise the importance of working alongside such a pioneering project to elevate the profile of the Island and more importantly support the learning of Jersey school children. This venture will enable an equal platform of opportunity for children to grow and flourish, presenting athletic opportunities that, without this facility, may not be achievable,” JT Managing Director Daragh McDermott said.
Elaborating on the education programme, Strive’s Managing Director Ben Harvey added: “We are partnering with all Jersey’s secondary schools and are really excited to be nurturing the aspirations of our young people to live more active and healthier lives.
“We are working towards empowering young people with purpose, self-esteem and leadership and we are grateful for the support and expertise that our partnership with JT is securing for this centre. We see it as our mission to provide fitness and health education to all young people in Jersey.”
