The project AtLETyC addresses one increasingly important issue that strikes elite Athletes: “What are my professional perspectives after my sports career?”
The European Commission declared in 2007 in its “White paper on Sport” the importance to provide “Dual Career” training for young sportsmen and sportswomen already in an early stage in order to ensure the reintegration of professional sportspersons into the labour market at the end of their sporting careers. “Dual career” arrangements should allow Athletes to benefit from their sporting career as well to be well prepared for the time after their active sporting careers and to choose sport AND education.
AtLETyC will open a new opportunity to Athletes and a new direction in their lives. AtLETyC provides educational training on Entrepreneurship at postsecondary (VET and tertiary) level to Athletes. After the participation in the AtLETyC training programme they will be better educated and will even be able to create new jobs.
The new AtLETyC approach shall provide Athletes with a new career path and decrease unemployment.
The training program can easily be tailored to the needs of others and transferred to other countries and regions in Europe.
Project duration: 1.1.2016-30.6.2018 (30 Months)
TE has been working together with FIBA for a long time. At the 100th anniversary of Ferenc Hepp’s birth, we have named together the auditorium of the university’s main building after the well-known Hungarian basketball diplomat.
The Research Center for Sport Economy and Decision Sciences has recently prepared two researches for FIBA Europe, one about home grown regulations and the other about the drop-out effect. We are currently working together in the EU Time-Out project in the field of dual careers.
The project of a “Regional Centre for Dual Career Politics and Advocacy” has been approved in 2015 call, project number: 517640-EPP-1-2015-2-RO-SPO-SCP and responds to one of the three EU general objectives to promote and support the good governance in sport and dual career of athletes.
DC4AC project is consistent with the efforts and concerns of the European Commission for insuring a safe future to retired athletes. This project will focus on the priority of supporting the implementation of EU policy documents in the field of Dual Career: EU Guidelines on Dual Careers of Athletes and other relevant documents such as recommendations, guidelines, policy strategies etc. (e.g. EU Physical Activity Guidelines, Principles on good governance in sport).
The project intends to help talented athletes and elite athletes reconcile their sport life with education and irrespectively with the job demands, to ease their transition from sport to the labor market and make them further contribute to society development. In order to fulfil all the above the project will try to find solutions to obtain support from the national authorities, public bodies, education providers, sport organizations, business and last but not least by the athletes themselves.
With support of the European Commission, ERASMUS+ Sport funds the consortium of 6 European counties are developing a project called “Regional Centre for Dual Career Politics and Advocacy - DC4AC”.
We would like to invite all sport stakeholders in Europe to support us in the development of “Regional Centre for Dual Career Politics and Advocacy” project.
The Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS) of Budapest participates in projects beyond the borders of the Hungary. Projects include joint activities in the areas of research and training, blending theory and practice with an international dimension. The main goal is to share, knowledge, expertize and best practices, and to generate and finance great academic and mobility related opportunities for HUSS faculty, students as well as our partner institutions. These projects also entail significant intercultural exposure and enrich our faculty’s scope and expertize. Among the European higher educational institutions, HUSS has participated the most sports profession related projects as a consortium partner.
HUSS welcomes new initiatives at the International Relations Center, where project initiatives are coordinated in close collaboration with the academic institutes.
