• Athlete management
• Sports media and communication
• Esports

The courses will be initially available in English, to be followed in French in a few months. There are considerations to make courses available in Portuguese in the future. 

ASVG will establish the necessary online platform in order to enhance outreach activities by October 1, 2020. SMBGASSO will apply its strategic approach in supporting course participants. This unique approach includes access to its existing network of coaches and mentors, who will interact at varying levels with the course participants, and facilitating internship opportunities
