Employers
One the most important aspects of providing our elite athletes with a second career is our employer engagement programme, where identifying and selecting the right companies is essential to their ongoing growth and education.
We operate a stringent vetting process that evaluates, financial stability, staff retention, and attrition, social values, training, development and career progression.
We only consider organisations that prioritise professional development and offer a well-structured training curriculum, ensuring that individuals have clear personal development plans and continual improvement is achieved.
Career progression is absolutely paramount, and employers must provide a defined pathway where the individuals can advance and take on greater responsibility as their performance and skillsets flourish. It is imperative they become key contributors to the company and an integral member of the team.
