SMWW Introduces Virtual Internship Program
NEW!
Sports Management Worldwide offers a Virtual Internship Program for those undergraduate students needing to fulfill their university internship requirements for graduation. Traditionally, internships require a student to leave his or her campus and work full time for a sports entity. When a student has on-campus responsibilities this can be prohibitive. For financial reasons, they may not be able to leave their current environment due to job, family, or personal reasons. Therefore SMWW has created the Virtual Internship Program. This allows the college student to meet graduation requirements and stay in his or her current environment.

The Virtual Internship Program is:
  • a non-paid "college credit" only opportunity
  • offered spring, summer, fall and winter terms
  • offers flexible start and finish dates
  • available from any online computer.
  • for undergraduate college students wishing to launch a career in sports management, sports leadership, and/or sports business
  • paid for by the university via a SMWW preferred partnership, or by the individual student
  • customized to the student's career path and goalsrequires short term but limited travel
