The EU project STARTING 11 powered by TW1N has reached a crucial step in its development: For the first time, its European Dual Career Toolkit will be put to the test by a manifold group of international dual career stakeholders.

Built by interdiscliplinary teams of European dual career experts, the European Dual Career Toolkit contains a large number of ready-made, yet fully customizable, tools in 3 different areas of dual career services: Manage, Counsel and Train.

  • The Manage tools help build the political, theoretical and infrastructural know-how to implement and administrate dual career services as well as to efficiently communicate towards the most relevant dual career stakeholders.
  • The Train tools help prepare, sensitize and empower athletes by providing them with knowledge, inspiration and skills to successfully pursue their dual careers.
  • The Counsel tools help professionalize inter-personal counselling services to foster the coping, decision-making and planning ability of athletes in times of fundamental change and transition.

The testers

The test phase of the project is conducted to ensure that the tools are comprehensible, applicable and impactful when it comes to dual career practice in Europe. The following institutions will collaborate with STARTING 11 in this period:

In the upcoming three months, these institutions will gain exclusive access to the tool prototypes to test them in their daily operations. Their feedback will support the refinement of the tools, before the European Dual Career Toolkit will officially be published in December 2021. Find out more at the official website of STARTING 11.
