DEERFIELD, IL-3 de agosto de 2021-SCWFitness Education, el mayor proveedor de formación continua del mundo, establece el Grupo de Trabajo de Diversidad de SCW diseñado para reclutar y orientar a presentadores de color junto con diversos orígenes étnicos para crear unidad e inclusión en la industria del fitness. Está formado por un grupo variado de líderes leales de alta calidad que se unen para ayudar a facilitar este objetivo.

Nuestra misión es influir en la industria de la salud y el fitness y conseguir que más personas de diversos orígenes hagan ejercicio. Esperamos conseguirlo ampliando nuestra lista de presentadores. Actualmente, la industria del fitness carece de una mezcla de razas y etnias. Nos esforzamos por acoger a más personas de color y diversidad como líderes. SCW, al igual que otras conferencias profesionales de fitness, no recibe muchos solicitantes de diferentes orígenes. En un esfuerzo por reclutar, hemos instituido varias prácticas a lo largo de los años. El concurso Fitness Idol de cada MANIA® anima a los aspirantes a competir por los puestos de liderazgo de los talleres, lo que ayuda a animar a instructores de distintas cualificaciones a dar el salto a presentador.

"Es imperativo y es hora de hacer una 'llamada a la acción' para desarrollar nuestra industria y crear diversidad, unidad e inclusión", señaló Sara Kooperman, Directora General de SCW Fitness Education y WATERinMOTION. "Soy consciente de que va a ser un gran esfuerzo, pero es algo que nunca hemos rehuido. SCW siempre ha apoyado a las mujeres como líderes en nuestra industria y me siento igual de comprometida a abrazar un mensaje de diversidad más profundo."

SCW busca personas de diversos orígenes y etnias para unirse a nuestro equipo de profesionales.
