Young People
Where passion for sport shapes real futures.
Landing your first job isn’t easy – but what if we told you that the sport you love can help you build the career path of your dreams?
With the FIFA World Cup 26™ coming to North America, The King’s Trust Canada has teamed up with Coca-Cola to rollout the Coca-Cola Future Careers (FC) Academy to young Canadians – a dynamic digital learning experience designed to equip young people with the skills and confidence to step into sports marketing and related industries.
With courses led by industry leaders on different key topics, the program blends real‑world know‑how, industry connections, and insider access to help the next generation of leaders score career goals before, during, and beyond the tournament.
Overview
To kick off 2026 with some footy fever, TKTC’s The Network events in Vancouver and Toronto during winter 2026 will be focused on spotlighting skills for sport – the transferable strengths that athletes, coaches, and sport professionals use both on and off the field.
Students have the opportunity to earn digital certifications, connect with mentors, and unlock access to work opportunities via a dedicated job board powered by TeamWork Online. In 2026, the upcoming tournament and related experiences will add real-time relevance to their learning journey.
Eligible Coca-Cola FC Academy participants can also gain exclusive access to TKTC’s Play Forward Summits in Toronto and Vancouver in May 2026 – helping you build valuable, transferable skills through play-based activities and career exploration in sports!
