Former Canadian Olympian Jerimiah Brown is just one of many professional athletes who face the struggles and concerns that come with transitioning into a post-athletic career. Brown, who is now the athlete wellness manager for the Canadian Olympic Committee’s Game Plan initiative, hopes to bridge that gap by providing former athletes with the tools and skills needed to transition into formal employment.
Brown and Ivey’s Sharon Irwin-Foulon, Executive Director, Career Management and Corporate Recruiting, spoke with The Globe and Mail about Ivey’s new partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee to deliver its Game Plan initiative for Canadian Olympians.
Ivey’s role within Game Plan is to provide expertise in career development.
“What we do is very different here, so it’s not one-off coaching sessions or one-off classroom sessions, it’s all an integrated program that follows the students through their development,” said Irwin-Foulon.
