The IOC and The Adecco Group began working together in 2005 on what was then known as the IOC Athlete Career Programme. Since then, the programme, now known as Athlete365 Career+, has provided career development resources and training to more than 50,000 athletes, helping them to maximise their employment opportunities. In 2011, collaborate with the “Champion Foundation” to provide a series of support for Chinese retired or active athletes including career development training, internship employment counseling and counseling, and internship opportunities.
