About the IOC Athlete Career
Programme (IOC ACP)
Launched in 2005, the IOC Athlete Career Programme helps Olympic
athletes successfully manage the difficult transition from elite sport to
a new career through professional development and job placement. By
the end of 2009, the IOC ACP had assisted more than 5,000 athletes
from 40 countries and five continents with training opportunities
and job placements. In 2009, the IOC, working in cooperation with
Adecco, expanded the programme. The three pillars of education, life
skills and employment provide a better platform to meet the needs
of elite athletes during and after their sporting career and give them
the chance to succeed at every stage of their lives.

“Our Olympic athletes bring a special value to the world through
their dedication to sport on a global stage. The International Olympic
Committee, in cooperation with the Adecco Group, helps athletes
make the difficult transition from elite sport to a new career
through the IOC Athlete Career Programme. Athletes possess
unique and special traits and experience they can contribute to
the labour market.”
Jacques Rogge, President, International Olympic Committee
“Athletes who excel in their chosen disciplines need qualities
similar to those that garner success in business. In recognition
of these qualities, Adecco Group works closely with Olympic
athletes offering career development and job training. This
eases their transition and enables them to live their dreams,
both in the sporting arena and beyond.”
Patrick De Maeseneire, Chief Executive Officer Adecco Group

Athletes’ testimonials
Employees are a significant investment for an organisation, and finding
dedicated and committed candidates can be a challenge. Goal-oriented,
resilient and successful team players are always difficult to find.
The IOC Athlete Career Programme supports elite, Olympic, and
Paralympic athletes. The programme has three pillars:
The opportunity:
Elite and Olympic athletes have unique experiences and many
desirable skills to offer. However, many have a background that
does not fit readily into a commonly recognised career structure.
Involvement with the IOC Athlete Career Programme can provide
companies with extraordinary employees, capable of contributing
the skills and traits they have exemplified as athletes:
• Life Skills
“The IOC ACP identified an opportunity where an athlete’s attitude
and self-discipline would be valued and appreciated in the workplace.
I love the job and the people I am working with, and obtaining the
assignment was a smooth transition, thanks to the IOC ACP.”
Angelo Della Noce, kayak, Italy
• competitive
• team players
• goal-oriented
• passionate
• internationally experienced
• Education
• Employment
Education:
The first pillar provides athletes with advice on how to successfully
combine sport and studies, including academic counselling, distance
education and e-learning.
Life skills:
The second pillar helps elite athletes make the most out of their talents.
On www.olympic.org/iocacp, athletes can find practical tools and
guidance on topics such as health and nutrition, financial planning,
time management, media training, public speaking, goal setting, and
other topics.
• coachable
• hard-working
Imagine employees who have a never-ending desire to be the
best, combined with the talent and skills that enabled them
to perform at an Olympic level. We help athletes bring these
sporting qualities to bear in their business careers.
Being successful is not a matter of luck – it is down to systematic
training and dedication, and athletes have the character traits
to lead, both on the field and in business!
Employment:
The third pillar helps athletes find their place in the labour market,
using a two-track approach: Career development and Job placement.
• Career development
The Adecco Group, together with the IOC and certain NOCs
created a customised programme for athletes in the following
areas: defining career goals, creating a CV/résumé, interview
technique and networking tips.
• Job placement
Athletes’ employment needs vary at different stages of their
careers. During competition, many look for part-time work, enabling
them to combine sport and securing an income. At the end of their
sporting careers, they need to take the important step of entering
the labour market and looking for full-time employment. That’s
where Adecco’s expertise and network comes in, making the right
match and bringing employers and athletes together.
More information can be found on: www.adecco.com
or on: www.olympic.org/iocacp.
“After Turin, I just didn’t know what to do with my life. The IOC ACP, in
cooperation with Adecco, helped me to make the right decisions and
now I can dedicate myself to training as a fitness instructor.”
Eva-Maria Fitze, ice skater, Germany
“After having attended an IOC ACP group meeting organised by
Adecco with fellow athletes as well as two personal interviews with
training and programme specialists, I’m confident I can put the
doubts over my future to rest, whereas before I had absolutely no
idea whatsoever about it! It’s been an unforgettable experience.”
Miguel Cabrita, swimmer, Portugal
“Before the IOC ACP, my career – both professionally and as a
sportswoman – was uncertain. I had faith that great things were
about to come my way, but I was not ready to face the inevitable
changes. With the IOC ACP, I suddenly felt more self-reliant,
especially when it came to taking tough decisions. It helped me
find my inner strength. I’m definitely a renewed Paola!”
Paola Silva, gymnast, Mexico
About the programme
The IOC Athlete Career Programme
The origins of the ACP date back to the first "International Athletes' Sports Forum", held in 2002. The difficulties faced by
athletes in making the transition to the labour market following a career in competitive sport were identified as a focus.
Since the creation of the programme, 23 National Olympic Committees have joined with Adecco and the IOC, and are
formally involved in the IOC Athlete Career Programme. There is a parallel agreement in place with the International
Paralympic Committee (IPC) to serve Paralympic athletes.
The IOC Athlete Career Programme helps elite, Olympic, and Paralympic athletes find their place in the labour market,
utilising a two-track programme: Career Development (education/training) and Job Placement.

The Career Development track was created around a combination of individual modules, based on core content from
Lee Hecht Harrison (an Adecco business unit), customised to meet athletes’ requirements. This personalised programme
assists athletes in viewing their athletic successes and characteristics from the point of view of the labour market and
expressing them in appropriate terms. The programme works with athletes to enable them to communicate their skills
and objectives to the business world in a common language.

Job Placement is a personalised track built on Adecco's world-class job placement expertise. It is designed to help
athletes leverage their unique backgrounds and capabilities, and position them to engage in the job market with the best
support available.

Athletes stories
Catalin Popovici handball, Romania
ACP key to success in "Career Competition"
In his career as a professional handball player for Romania, and then as a player/coach in
Italy, Catalin Popovici went from success to success. Between 1985 and 2004, Catalin
represented his country on over 200 occasions, including European and International
championships. Bringing his success in the handball court to the world of work proved more
challenging, and upon returning to his native Romania he spent several months pursuing
various jobs without success. After learning that the NOC and Adecco had launched the ACP
in Romania, Catalin made the right move and called the ACP representative.
As Catalin explained it was the first step to winning outside his sport: "The labour market
was a new kind of competition. I wasn’t expecting to find the perfect job right away – my
initial experiences with the labour market were opportunities to train and prepare for
something better. I had a series of meetings during which I learned how to put together an
effective résumé, how to present myself at an interview, how to emphasise my qualities,
and how a selection process works."
After a few unsuccessful job interviews, the ACP supported Catalin by giving him the tools
to analyse and learn from the experience and identify how to "emphasise abilities that
would bring value to the employer". Success followed and he secured a position with a
foreign financial services company. Catalin commented: "It’s more than a year since I
started working at this company and I can say with pride that I am highly appreciated. I
like my role here very much. To all sportsmen and sportswomen, I say with all my heart:
the finish line is just the beginning!"
