Established in 2005, Athlete365 Career+ (formerly the IOC Athlete Career Programme) is an IOC Athletes’ Commission initiative run in conjunction with The Adecco Group, one of the world’s leading providers of Human Resource solutions. Career+ is a programme that empowers athletes to maximise their education and employment opportunities and helps them stride confidently into a dual or post-sports career. It provides athletes with the resources and training required to develop their life skills, in maximising education and employment opportunities. The Indian Olympic Association successfully conducted the first edition of the outreach workshop in December 2018 in New Delhi.
For the second edition this year, Chairman of the Athletes Commission, Dr. Malav Shroff took the initiative to conduct the Career+ Outreach Workshop in Mumbai.
