The tour, organised by care leavers charity Leicestershire Cares and Leicester City in the Community, saw care leavers offered a virtual tour of the stadium and an insight into the array of jobs available in the football industry.
The workshop kicked-off with a game of ‘jobs in football’ bingo followed by a programme of inspiring talks from guest speakers on career progression.
A spokesman for Leicestershire Cares said: “ It was really eye opening for our young people to see just how many different opportunities are available at LCFC and this sparked a discussion about thinking more openly when considering different industries.
“Along the way, guest speakers spoke about their career progression, individuals who inspired the, the importance of volunteering, being passionate about your work and showing determination.”
One young person who took part in the workshop added: “It was actually very cool. I love football so much; it is my favourite sport and I understood everything he was explaining.”
