The AFTERMATCH project is a cooperation initiative implementing a pre-emptive approach for the promotion of “second careers” among athletes (young and ex) based on the valorisation of “sport-related transversal skills” which can facilitate the integration of ex-athletes in the labour market. The AFTERMATCH Modelis targeted to teachers (sport schools/academies), sport trainers, sport association/federation managers and employers, with the aim of updating and empowering their knowledge and competences in the field of “dual career” promotion. The AFTERMATCH Model, jointly created by a partnership composed by educational/vocational training centers & sport federations/associations located in 5 different EU countries, implements a modular & customized approach: modular because it can be applied separately on 3 different targets (1. Sport managers & trainers; 2. Teachers of sport schools/academies; 3. Private employers), customized because it is based on a preliminary analysis of local needs (WP3) and on local experimentations (WP5) carried out in 5 different EU countries. The partnership of the AFTERMATCH project is concentrated in EU countries where “effective post sport career actions” are not properly organized and implemented (e.g. , Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Poland). During the project lifetime, more than 600 among athletes, trainers and employers are involved in the situation analysis (WP3), 300 athletes in the experimentation (WP5.2) and more than 25 among federations and association in the raising awareness actions (WP6.1). Moreover the AFTERMATCH project foresees a strong sustainability action (WP6.2) aiming to achieve the signature of at least 5 protocols for the adoption of the Model in partner’s countries, in agreement with sport Federations/Associations. The quality and impacts of the project’s results will be ensured by the creation of a team of 3 external evaluators (WP2), while a customized dissemination are ensured by Local Information Campaigns (WP7)
