ELIT-in project (“Integration of elite athletes into the labour market through the valorization of their transversal competences”) starts off from the acknowledgment of a fact that affects very negatively to most of the elite athletes at international level once they have finished their sports career they realize that it is very difficult to find a job with the education received and accredited.
However, in order to achieve high performance, these athletes have acquired, trained and improved throughout their careers a series of personal skills and abilities that, undoubtedly, are essential for reaching optimal professional performance and which are highly valued by the labour market.
These are known as "transversal competences", “soft skills” or even “life skills”, acquired through an informal learning process.
ELIT-in project will be framed in the specific objective of the promotion of dual careers of athletes, being its main aim to work for the recognition of transversal competences acquired by high performance athletes throughout their careers and to put them in value as a differential factor for accessing to the labour market with full guarantees once they retire.
In this perspective, this questionnaire has 2 aims:
- To identify the transversal competences acquired by the former athlete during their career;
- To identify skill shortages.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this project.
