The IOC recently informed us of opportunities available for you and your athletes.
As part of its mission to empower athletes around the world, the IOC, in partnership with Intel, is offering athletes access to online learning courses through LinkedIn Learning. While you may have heard of the initiative when it was launched this summer, LinkedIn Learning will be hosting a webinar this Thursday, in two different time zones, specifically designed to give you more information on how to best use the platform. Please see all the details about the offer and the webinar below.
IOC’s partnership with Airbnb has also led to new opportunities for athletes to earn revenue by sharing their passion and hosting Olympian and Paralympian experiences. Athletes can register their interest via the Athlete365 form and join a community of over 200 athlete hosts for both in person and online experiences.
We hope these opportunities are of interest to you. Please feel free to share with your athlete communities and of course let us know if you have any questions.
Online learning courses – free and exclusive to you
Intel and Athlete365 are delighted to be able to offer NOCs and IFs access to LinkedIn Learning, a leading online educational platform that helps develop business, technology and creative skills through expert-led videos.
