Living Sport's International Sport Business (ISB) Program was created to give passionate sport professionals, recent graduates, and current students an edge over the thousands of job seekers looking to score a gig in sports. Stemming from the popularity of edutainment experiences, Living Sport gives young adults the chance to receive international work experience and explore other countries through sport.
Our Sport Business Program is led by industry professionals who have immense experience in the sport industry and mentoring young professionals. Program participants will interact with sports business professionals creating a lasting network that extends far beyond the program.
Internship credits can be earned for this experience. Study hall sessions will be built in for those still in class.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
SHORT-TERM PROGRAM WITH BIG RESULTS:
Our brand new short-term program is 5 days of sport business conferences, executive meet & greets, digital media group challenges and the opportunity to assist with the NCAA Final Four Tournament in New Orleans, Louisiana!
Program participants will also receive the standard benefits of participating in a Sport Business Program through Living Sport. Alumni benefits includes joining the Living Sport Network – an ever-growing network of like-minded sport business professionals, future sport business travel opportunities, and the option to continue involvement through free alumni programs such as the Living Sport Alumni Board, Ambassador Program, Book Club, exclusive digital sessions, reunion events, and more!
Our short-term program was designed this way for a purpose. We believe it gives us enough time to accomplish what we set out to do, and creates a cost-effective program allowing all deserving participants to get involved.
