August 27, 2024 — Concordia University Texas is thrilled to announce a new partnership between its Athletics Department and Athletes to Careers (A2C), an organization renowned for connecting highly motivated and diverse student-athletes with leading companies across the nation. This partnership underscores Concordia's commitment to fostering the personal and professional development of its student-athletes beyond their time on the field and in the classroom.
Looking Ahead
"This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission at Concordia University Texas—to prepare our students for meaningful work in the world," said Matt Wallis, Associate Athletic Director. "We are excited to see our student-athletes leverage this opportunity to secure fulfilling careers that reflect the dedication and discipline they have honed during their time with us."
Concordia University Texas Athletics is confident that this collaboration with Athletes to Careers will not only enhance the professional prospects of its student-athletes but also elevate the university's reputation as a hub for developing future business leaders.
What is Athletes to Careers?
Athletes to Careers is an organization dedicated to helping America's finest companies connect with highly motivated and diverse student-athletes eager to begin a full-time business career or find a challenging internship.
Addressing a Critical Gap
Despite their potential, student-athletes often miss out on traditional campus recruiting opportunities due to their demanding schedules, which include practices, travel, competitions, and academic commitments. Athletes to Careers bridges this gap by working closely with athletic departments to prepare and coach student-athletes for life after sports. Through this partnership, Concordia University Texas student-athletes will now have greater access to top-tier career opportunities with companies that value their unique skill sets.
A Win-Win for Corporate America
Leading companies, including Aldi, Boston Scientific, Federated Insurance, Paycom, and Waste Management, have already tapped into the student-athlete talent pool through Athletes to Careers. These companies have reported significant time and resource savings in sourcing, qualifying, and hiring top-level candidates, many of whom have quickly become standout leaders within their organizations.
