colleges and universities nationwide already on the website.
The Career Athletes network is specifically geared toward student-athletes
seeking internships, full-time job opportunities or resume and career advice. CareerAthletes.com also provides a great platform for alumni who wish to connect
with student-athletes and help guide them by becoming mentors, or help them
network by recruiting them into the alumni's field of experience.
The 12-week internship program Cushman is currently participating in is for individuals looking to gain professional experience in a campus setting. Throughout the semester, interns will gain experience in selecting assignments relating to professional presentations, social media strategies, e-mail campaigning, and marketing. In addition, all interns will learn the importance and value of creating a professional network with other athletes and potential employers.
Supervised by Kim Pence, Director of
Student-Athlete Development and Internships at Career Athletes, the goal of the
internship is to help grow and increase activity in the Career Athletes
networks of each individual intern. "Our spring 2012 interns have a great
opportunity to educate their peers on campus while growing their own professional
network," said Pence. "We have a great group of interns that
reach coast to coast as well as throughout NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA
institutions."
