SIS supplier of retail betting provisions, has pledged its support to the Jockeys Employment and Training Scheme. The supplier has continued its support for the horseracing industry by becoming Friends of JETS, a charity which helps jockeys plan and achieve second careers.

As part of the scheme, employees from SIS will share their wealth of knowledge as well as assist with career guidance and work experience placements. In addition, the company will offer interview practice to retiring jockeys as well as advice on what to expect once they have hung up their riding boots.

Since JETS’ began in 1995, the charity has helped close to 1,000 current and former jockeys to achieve a secure and successful future out of the saddle.

This is another example of SIS’ continued support and investment into the industry, following the recent announcement of the extension to their support for the Racehorse Owner’s Sponsorship Scheme up to August 2018 and a further three years of their longstanding sponsorship of the Lambourn Trainers Association.

Nicola Clark, Human Resources Director of SIS, said: “Our commitment to the horseracing industry has remained strong for nearly 30 years and we are excited to become Friends of JETS. The charity does vital work to support both current and retired jockeys and we are looking forward to getting involved with the great work they carry out.”

She added: “SIS will continue to strengthen our support for a sport that is close to our hearts and vital to our customers.”

Lisa Delany, JETS Manager said: “Without the support of companies like SIS, we couldn’t help hundreds of jockeys to be aware of their strengths, attributes and transferable skills to ensure they have successful second-careers. SIS’ pedigree in the sport is second to none and we can’t wait to draw upon their expertise for the benefit of our jockeys.”
