The 'Athlete Career' by the IOC

The IOC Athlete Career Programme seminar was organised in cooperation with Adecco in Lithuania for the first time. The course took place at the NOC Headquarters. Experienced athletes, Olympians, Paralympians and young athletes participated.

The audience was seduced by Mrs Kadiatou Tounkara, former basketball player, Olympian, a member of the ANOCA (the association of African NOCs) Athletes’ Commission and an active trainer of the IOC ACP Outreach Programme. Athletes said that the lectures were very useful and that their experience in sport will benefit their future careers. The Athlete Career Programme set up by the International Olympic Committee and its partners is running in a hundred countries and has already trained more than 10,000 athletes.
