National Football League (NFL)’s Post

On June 14th, 17 NFL Legends convened at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, WA, to celebrate their graduation from the inaugural Microsoft Leap NFL Legend Cohort - Technical Program Management pathway. This program, run jointly by the NFL Player Care Foundation (PCF) and Microsoft, provides former NFL players with hands-on education, training sessions, and networking opportunities, allowing them to use their NFL experiences to kick off their tech careers.   At the session, these NFL Legends gathered to hear panels from Microsoft and NFL executives, tour the Microsoft campus as a team, network, and deliver their final group presentations to an audience of employers, culminating in their graduation from the Microsoft Leap program.   A big congratulations to these NFL Legends – we can’t wait to see how your tech careers flourish!    For more information about this program and other services and resources offered to former NFL players through the NFL Player Care Foundation (PCF), please visit: https://lnkd.in/enhRmEnj
