How it
actually works.
Athletes To Industry is built around a clear, timed pathway. The first ninety days are owned end-to-end by Andrews Recruitment Group. From there, the development plan is shaped with the employer the athlete joins. The same pathway runs for both cohorts: athletes leaving the elite pathway placed into permanent industry roles, and apprenticeship-ready young players placed into trainee positions in parallel with their playing.
STAGE 01
ARG-LED · WEEK 1 TO MONTH 3
Onboard, prepare,
introduce.
The first ninety days are run by ARG. The team takes each athlete through a screening call, onboards them onto The People System, and runs the discovery work that establishes what they want, what is realistic, and how to get there.
Workshops cover CV writing, interview skills, job searching, and the digital and technology fluency expected in modern workplaces. Industry-recognised certifications follow, delivered by trusted, verified partners and tailored to each athlete. Client introductions and interview scheduling sit at the back end of the window. Trial days follow.

STAGE 02
EMPLOYER-LED · MONTH 6 TO MONTH 12
Develop, embed,
review.
The shape of the second stage depends on the role and the employer. Each placement runs against a written development plan agreed at offer stage. ARG checks in with both sides at six and twelve months and stays available between.

Alumni network
A network of
specialists, not a curriculum.
Different athletes need different training. Some need vocational tickets to step onto a construction site. Some need commercial fluency to step into financial services. The programme draws from a network of trusted training providers and matches each athlete to what they actually need.

Month written plan
Certificated training,
tailored to the athlete.
Industry-recognised certifications delivered by trusted, verified training partners listed on The People System. Athletes leave the programme with paper, not just polish. Tickets and qualifications match the career path each athlete is taking.
The certifications attach back to each athlete’s profile, visible to employers when matching to roles. Every placement is then carried by a written 12-month development plan agreed at offer stage.
