More industry exposure, more real-world experience and more chances to connect with one of the world’s leading sporting brands while you study.
ACPE students are set to benefit from a new partnership with adidas Australia, creating more opportunities to build industry experience while studying sport, health, dance and physical education.
The partnership is designed to bring students closer to the sport industry through events, volunteering, networking and professional learning opportunities. It gives students more ways to see how their studies connect to real careers and to gain experience beyond the classroom.
As part of the agreement, adidas Australia will also become ACPE’s exclusive sportswear provider through to the end of 2027.
More industry exposure, more real-world experience and more chances to connect with one of the world’s leading sporting brands while you study.
At ACPE, learning is not limited to lectures and assessments. This partnership gives students more chances to connect with the people, brands and environments shaping the future of sport and physical activity.
Through the partnership, adidas Australia may be involved in key ACPE events such as Open Day, Orientation Week and the Careers in Sport Expo. For students, this means more opportunities to hear from industry, take part in brand activations and understand the different career pathways available across the sport sector.
Students may also have opportunities to volunteer at adidas events and activations, helping them build practical skills, meet industry contacts and add valuable experience to their résumé.
Building confidence, connections and career readiness
Whether students are aiming for careers in sport management, coaching, health, dance, physical education or related industries, exposure to real organisations can help them understand where their degree can take them.
By working with adidas Australia, ACPE can create more meaningful touchpoints between students and industry, helping students graduate with greater confidence, stronger networks and a clearer view of their future career options.
Why this matters for students
For our students, this partnership creates meaningful opportunities to engage with industry while they study, build professional networks and gain exposure to one of the world’s most recognised sporting brands. These experiences are central to how ACPE prepares graduates with the confidence, skills and real-world insight to succeed in sport and related industries.
