CFL Mentorship
The joint venture between the league office and the CFL Players’ Association serves as a platform for players to gain a deeper understanding of the business priorities of the CFL and its various departments, while building skills to one day transition away from the field into their chosen career paths.
This initiative also provides the opportunity for league staff, partners, as well as key stakeholders to meet the participants and learn about their experiences on and off the field.
Shift Group
Your CFLPA Academy is very excited to share our new partnership with Shift Group, a free sales training program that empowers athletes to successfully transition into their next professions.
