UEFA Career Transition Programme (UEFA CTP)
The UEFA CTP is a unique vocational programme for players who want to plan for their professional future off the pitch. It will help you to identify your transferable skills, gain a better understanding of the job opportunities available, and learn how your knowledge and experience can be reapplied.
Programme overview
The programme features talent tests, self-assessments, interviews, case studies and role play to help you analyse your strengths and personality. Our experts will present a variety of professional openings and share their insights and knowledge in a series of interactive presentations.
As a highlight of the course, former professional players will share inspiring stories about how they successfully managed their own career transition. At the end of the programme, you will carry out an engaging case study featuring real-life situations so that you can narrow the field. UEFA experts will also help you identify the next step and draw up a career action plan. We encourage applications from all footballers and futsal players. There is a limited number of participants per session to ensure the programme remains interactive.
The online CTP is aimed at current players who are already thinking about their second career. They will have access to exclusive content, experts and mentors at a limited cost and without any constraints, through online masterclasses and discussions with their peers from all over the world.
