The NCAA's 2024-25 Postgraduate Internship Program cohort recently began their yearlong work experience at the national office in Indianapolis. The intern class comprises 34 college graduates, including 26 former student-athletes.
The Postgraduate Internship Program annually provides on-the-job learning experiences to college graduates who are passionate in their pursuit of a career in college sports administration. With a focus on ethnic minorities, women and former student-athletes, the program gives insight to the inner workings of college sports from the national perspective.
NCAA postgraduate interns receive comprehensive training, mentoring assignments and networking opportunities. In their first week at the NCAA, current interns engaged with leaders of the Big Ten Conference, Riddell, Wilson Sporting Goods and Northwestern. As part of the program, postgraduate interns plan and execute professional development site visits to conference offices, member campuses and affiliate organizations to further their knowledge of the collegiate sports industry and network with leaders.
