INTRODUCTION
The ‘Athletes Transition’ Careers Program at the eCareers Academy helps adults 18+ years discover:
- Appropriate career options whilst they’re still playing their chosen professional sport.
- What vocations are available after their sporting professions have finished.
- The answer to their dilemmas when their sporting careers are abruptly halted through a debilitating injury.
- Potential limiting beliefs when considering a career change after a life as a professional sports person.
- How to develop skills to achieve their academic potential at College or University.
- How to put together an awesome Résumé, write an effective Application Letter & present themselves confidently & successfully at the Job Interview.
- Keys to Small Business success; as a part-time or full-time option.
THE TRIPLE ‘A’ CAREERS PROGRAM
Therefore, to make it easier for the professional athlete to understand the process of acquiring this information, the skills, & ultimate confidence with respect to their career searching we have devised the simple, yet extremely effective:
Triple ‘A’ Careers Program
Each Level relates to a different phase of the Careers process, i.e.,
Level 1 – The Assessment Phase
Level 2 – The Achievement Phase
Level 3 – The Application Phase
GOLD LEVEL: THE ASSESSMENT PHASE Summary: This phase of the overall Careers Analysis guides clients through the career decision process using state of the art computer programs & carefully designed questionnaires, resulting in detailed profiles & lists of suitable career options for each client.
The programs cover education, occupational interests, abilities, skills & factors affecting job satisfaction. All clients receive a personal profile, a list of suitable job suggestions & useful reports to take away. Each job comes with a description & personal pros & cons relating to the individual. Action Planning helps develop career ideas into practical strategies.
DIAMOND LEVEL: THE ACHIEVEMENT PHASE Summary: It is important for an individual to be aware of which career options are suitable for him/her, however, it is a challenge if there are practical obstacles which limit them achieving their career goals, e.g., goal setting strategies, time management concerns, structuring of assignments, studying techniques, limiting beliefs which hinder career advancement, etc. This phase will enable the client opportunities to develop these skills.
PLATINUM LEVEL: THE APPLICATION PHASE Summary: Once a capable client has acquired their academic qualifications & work-related experience, they are then required to impress Tertiary Institutions, Employers & Company Boards of their abilities & prowess. Along with their academic grades & personality, this phase will give the student skills to assist them to acquire the position they deserve.
