ABA Teams Looking for Interns
April 19, 2010 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release
Tampa, FL - Headlines in newspapers indicate that unemployment has hit college grads at higher rate than in past recessions," stated ABA President/COO Dick Packer. "That's one of the reasons that the ABA places so much emphasis on its internship programs. We offer college grads and college students an opportunity to get in on the ground floor in sports management and marketing in areas like community relations, press and media relations,
marketing of sponsorships and ticket sales, game day operations, promotions, radio/TV and other areas of team operations. It is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience as well as earn money and other incentives."
"All ABA teams are encouraged to create at least ten internship positions," Packer continued. "Our past experience has shown that many of our interns become full time employees. We ask our teams to create full or part time opportunities also because many of their interns have other jobs. We are also sensitive to the tremendous number of people who are underemployed or have been layed off and have openings throughout the league for marketing people and other positions. With over 60 teams scheduled to play next season, there are some great opportunities."
If you are interested in an ABA Internship or marketing position, email your resume to dick.packer@gmail.com or visit www.abalive.com for more details. Your resume will then be sent to an ABA team near you.
Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
