Athletes and paralympic athletes career development
Athletes who dedicate their “best years” as young adults to sport are often left behind in terms of professional development. Elite sports are not only an asset to society, but also to the businesses – among them Adecco – who share in the successes of active athletes through sponsorship.
Our relationship with sport, however, goes way beyond traditional endorsement. Launched in 2000, our international IOC Athletes Career Programme (ACP) helps professional athletes make the difficult transition from elite sport to a new career. Until the end of 2007, the IOC ACP supported more than 3,000 athletes from 30 countries, including those where we have agreements with the respective National Olympic Committees and Olympic Solidarity.
