Transition off the field and explore your new passion after the game.
About the TRUST FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
The Trust (Powered by The NFLPA) has created an opportunity that is available exclusively for Former NFL Players. The Fellowship Program is designed to embody the Trust’s mission to serve our members by providing work-place learning opportunities to help former players acquire technical skills, build networks, and explore new career paths.
This PAID program has a twelve (12) month term and allows former players the opportunity to truly transition into the business world by gaining meaningful experience with industry leading companies.
“The Fellowship Program allowed me to see that I could add value in a professional workspace by using the transferable skills I learned as a professional athlete. The experience gave me the confidence I needed to hit the ground running in my new career as an engineer.”
