Doha, Qatar, February 26, 2020: The Athletes 365 Career+ Outreach Workshop organised by the Athletes Commission of the Qatar Olympic Committee was successfully concluded at the Qatar Olympic Academy on Monday, February 24.

Career+ is an IOC Athletes Commission initiative that empowers athletes to maximise their education and employment opportunities and helps them stride confidently into a dual or post-sports career.
It supports athletes at all stages of their career, helping them discover their potential and plan for life beyond the world of competitive sport through a blend of advice, training and peer-to-peer learning.
Launched in 2005, the Athletes Career Programme helps elite and Olympic athletes successfully manage the difficult transition from sport to a new career through professional development and job placement support.
