Programme Participation
Launched in 2005, the Athlete Career Programme (ACP) helps Olympic athletes successfully manage the difficult transition from elite sport to a new career through professional development and job placement. In 2008, the IOC renewed its commitment with Adecco through 2012 and expanded the programme to three pillars of education, life skills and employment in order to better meet the needs of elie athletes. By the end of 2009, the programme has already supported more than 5,000 athletes in over 40 countries and five continents with training opportunities and job placements.
