This program supported more than 3,000 athletes during its first
three years in over 30 countries delivering career development and
job placements.
Lausanne, Switzerland, October 2, 2008: Today, the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) and Adecco the global leader in Human
Resources services announced the extension of the "IOC Athlete
Career Programme", an initiative designed to facilitate the
integration of athletes into the labor market both during and at
the end of their elite sporting careers.
Launched in 2005, the IOC and Adecco renewed their relationship
to provide career development and job placement services to Olympic
Athletes around the world. When an Olympic Athlete is on the field
of play, he has achieved a status as one of the best in the world
whether he wins a medal or has the honor to represent his country.
The character and the personal traits that these athletes display
on the field is part of who they are. These same people have
dedicated significant time to training to represent their countries
which results in a unique set of life experiences that are seen on
a CV or Resume. The IOC Athlete Career Programme is designed to
prepare athletes for a more successful transition and help bring
elite athletes together with leadership companies around the
world.
"The IOC recognizes the value that these athletes bring to the
world through their dedication to sport on a global stage. We were
proud to first provide assistance to them with the launch of the
Athlete Career Programme in 2005 and we are even more excited with
our expansion and strengthening of the Programme with Adecco," said
IOC President Jacques Rogge. "The end of an elite sporting career
is difficult, and the IOC Athlete Career Programme will provide
support to assist athletes continue with their proven success on
the field as they move into the labour market."
"Top athletes are dedicated to their sport and passionate to be
the best in the world while globally representing their country,"
said Dieter Scheiff, CEO of Adecco. "We are proud to cooperate with
the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Movement, by
providing our services to these athletes for a flying start to
their career after sports."
The IOC Athlete Career Programme will continue to increase its
support of Olympic Athletes around the world through the
cooperation of the International Olympic Committee, National
Olympic Committees, International Sport Federations and Adecco. For
