The Travelers Championship is currently seeking students for the spring semester (January – July).
Interns will have hands-on experience in a variety of efforts that go into organizing a professional sports event. The Travelers Championship internship program is a great opportunity for a student looking to build solid experience in sports management. Candidates should also be highly motivated, detail-oriented, dependable and a team-oriented self-starter. A Travelers Championship intern will receive the advantage of learning in a professional, results-driven atmosphere with experienced team members.
A set schedule is required and will be developed after the student’s course schedule is finalized for the spring semester. Interns must be available daily once the spring semester ends through mid-July and are expected to be available weekends, evenings and special occasions including Memorial Day, Father’s Day, and college graduation season. Students may receive course credit during the academic year and a $1500 stipend during the summer months.
REQUIREMENTS
- Excellent oral and written communications skills;
- ability to manage multiple projects;
- skilled in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel; and
- a detail-oriented, hard-working, positive personality are required for all positions.
Time Commitment:
- With the nature of this program, internship hours may be less demanding earlier in the school year but increase in intensity as the tournament nears.
- It is difficult and not recommended to maintain additional employment during the summer months leading up to the tournament.
- This internship is a high intensity program and requires an extensive time commitment. We highly encourage students to ask questions during the application and interview process about the commitment level.
