INTRODUCTION

Football Development Institute is an education, development and research institution in professional football. FDI operates on the basis of own "Football Identity", consisting of "Football intellectual foundation", as well as original definitions, concepts and models.

FDI realises its vision and goals on the foundation of the "Complementary plan". This strategic framework includes four segments:

▶ content-related communication

▶ education of football Specialists

▶ development & transformation of football Clubs

▶ analysis & research


TRAINEESHIPS

Our mission is to encourage Clubs to create traineeship positions, support them in defining the characteristics of the project and then recommend high quality Candidates matching the preferred profile. FDI helps European Clubs to recruit Trainees for different departments and divisions:

🔹 management & strategy

🔹 administration & HR

🔹 SPORTS (many Specialist roles)         

🔹 Academy roles

🔹 communication & club media                   

🔹 marketing & internationalisation

🔹 finance & sales

🔹 legal & compliance   

🔹 IT


CRITERIA

Each Club can define:

🔹 traineeship characteristics

🔹 Trainee profile

🔹 type of cooperation with FDI


TRAINEES

FDI is successively building a database of Trainees with their profiles who are potential Candidates for recommendation to the Clubs. In addition, we also conduct a targeted recruitment of Trainees based on the criteria indicated by the Clubs.


DIFFERENT GOALS FOR TRAINEESHIPS

Organising traineeships in Clubs can have different purposes. We note the key ones:

🔹 increasing the capacity of different departments | improving the intensity of work

🔹 raising the effectiveness of project work

🔹 improving the ratio of salary expenditure to work effectiveness

🔹 long-term recruitment process

🔹 talent scouting

🔹 internal development of potential new Employees according to the Club's standards

🔹 education for interested persons | the Club's mission

🔹 motivation for current Employees

🔹 employer branding

🔹 creation of Talent Academy (in cooperation with FDI)
