IWORKINSPORT SUPPORTS THE FOOTBALL FOR ALL LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME

iWorkinSport is happy to announce its partnership with the Football For All Leadership Programme, the first executive programme tailored for disabled people aiming to develop a career in football.

 

The programme was inaugurated in 2018 and iWorkinSport invited a few graduates from the first edition to attend the job fair, which will take place in Lausanne on 24 May.

 

Joao Frigerio, iWorkinSport founder, said: “The Football For All Leadership Programme is a beautiful initiative which addresses the important issue of (lack of) access of disabled people to work opportunities, specifically in the sports’ industry. We, at iWorkinSport, believe in education and the primary idea of the job fair is to help create opportunities for those who invest in education to connect with potential employers. In the case, of the Football For all Leadership Programme, we decided not only to help promote them to the sports industry, but also offered a couple of free passes to allow their graduates to look for their dream jobs at the event”.

 

José Soares, founder of the Football For All Leadership Programme, said: “we are glad of this partnership with iWorkinSport and to see that the organisers of this event are aware of the importance of integrating disabled people in the sports industry. I would personally like to thank all the team of iWorkinSport for providing this opportunity to the participants of the Football for All Leadership Programme”.

 

More about the iWorkinSport Job Fair
The iWorkinSport Job Fair 2019, will take place once again at the SwissTech Convention Center, in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 24 May.


iWorkinSport is the first truly international career fair focused on the sports industry. It brings together some of the most important sports organisations on the planet and candidates from some of the best schools in the world.


Sports organisations will be posting job offers for which candidates will be able to apply in advance. The recruiters will then assess the applications and book interviews with the candidates. Candidates who do not pre-book interviews will still have the opportunity to meet all recruiters and book interviews at the Job Fair.


The iWorkinSport Job Fair is presented by the Swiss-based events company ENGAGE Sports & Entertainment SA, and is co-organised by JF Sports Consulting and the sports innovation network ThinkSport. The 2019 edition has the support of the International Centre for Sport Studies – CIES (Gold Partner), Penceo Sport (Branding Partner), Wiz-Team (Event Registration Partner), Red Bull Wingfinder (Preferred Personality Test) and of the local hosts, City of Lausanne and the State of Vaud.
