Get in touch
Are you ready to make the career transition you’ve been waiting for?
At EY, we acknowledge the distinctive set of skills that athletes develop through their intensive training and competitive endeavors. Our Athlete Programs are designed to leverage these transferable abilities, recognizing their value in a professional context.
As the global talent attraction and acquisition leader, I see these programs as a vital bridge between the world of competitive sports and the strategic plays of business. They are a testament to the power of diversity and the endless possibilities that arise when we champion all forms of talent.
The EY Athlete Programs offer a unique opportunity to world-class athletes to join EY – an organization that truly believes in the power of people to change the world by bringing and contributing their unique talents.
Athletes have a proven ability to focus relentlessly on achieving goals, of recovering from setbacks and of working alone, or with others to achieve audacious goals. And like EY, athletes understand that where you start your race, does not determine where and how you end it.
EY is proud to be at the forefront of this movement to tap into this nontraditional yet extraordinary talent pool of Olympians and elite professional athletes who have competed at the highest levels. Since 2016, we’ve welcomed 70+ of them to join EY via the Athlete Programs.
Hear what our athletes say about the programs
As a former professional athlete and now a partner at Ernst & Young LLP, I can attest to the immense value that athletes bring to the corporate world. I'm proud to be part of an organization that recognizes the potential of athletes to become exceptional business leaders and is committed to supporting their growth and development.
With the EY Athlete Programs, we're committed to enriching the professional landscape with individuals who embody athletic excellence and who bring unique perspectives and skills that drive innovation and success in the business realm.
Athletes can enrich our business, clients as well as people with their firsthand understanding of leadership, resilience, determination and unwavering commitment to a purpose-driven approach. These qualities not only complement our high-performing teams but also enhance our collective ability to navigate challenges and achieve excellence.
Why do the EY Athlete Programs matter?
