NEW YORK (AP) -The NFL has set up a career transition program for retired players that will begin next month.
A four-day course from June 7-10 at Georgia Tech will launch the program designed to help former players transition from football to the business world. The league will pay for tuition and accommodations.
Participating players will learn about personal finance; launching a new career with realistic expectations; developing a personal brand; communication skills; and the importance of health and well being.
Interested retired players must submit an application along with an essay about their goals for the program. The league hopes to eventually accommodate 45 former players per session.
