The EY Athlete Programs recognize the immense value that Olympian and elite professional athletes bring to EY. Leadership, teamwork, resilience and mental toughness are just some of the transferable skills and experiences these individuals bring to the business world. 

What are the EY Athlete Programs?

Why do the EY Athlete Programs matter?

At EY, we recognize the relentless drive, exceptional discipline, and unique team spirit that athletes bring to the table. The EY Athlete Programs are not just about fostering career transitions; they are aimed at harnessing the extraordinary potential of athletes to build a better working world.

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.
