Our job is to help them take those fantastic qualities and apply them to the next phase of their careers within your organisation.

The Transition Triad

Ensuring that every athlete we work with experiences a successful transition is at the heart of everything we do at ACT. It’s in our DNA!

 

This can’t happen however unless both the athlete and the business partner fully buy-in to the concept that comprehensive 360 support is the most effect route to success and retention.

 

Therefore working in partnership with Avanade, ACT will ensure that everything we do is centred around the successful transition of every athlete we work with, both from an holistic and career perspective.
