Description:
Our Business Development and Game Night Interns are an important part of our organization. Our 2023-24 Intern class was responsible for coming up with new and unique promotion ideas for the season. This included our Wine Night (Taylor's Version), which was the most successful of the group that they came up with. The internship will also include getting to work every aspect of a Capitols game to learn what goes into working for a sports team. There will be opportunities for office hours with this internship.
Qualifications:
- Must be 18 years of age or older
- The ability to attend the vast majority of Capitols home games during the 2024-2025 season. This will include nights, weekends, and holidays.
- Interns will be asked to assist in special events and community appearances and will be provided notice in advance of these events.
- A positive attitude and a willingness to actively engage and interact with fans.
- Strong personal and communication skills.
- Candidates must possess a proactive, service-oriented mentality that will assist every department with its respective needs.
- The ability to work pro-actively and independently and possess a can-do attitude.
- A willingness to learn new skills and adapt in a fun, fast-paced environment.
- A strong work ethic, positive attitude, willingness to accept all tasks assigned and the ability to learn quickly.
- The understanding that working in sports is different than being a fan. This position does not guarantee candidates will be able to watch games. Many valuable positions within the organization are behind the scenes, and they provide little ability to watch the games.
- The ability to handle the physical requirements of the position, including setting up equipment for events, standing for longer periods of time and other light to medium lifting.
- *This internship is unpaid and is meant for students that will receive school credit and/or look to build upon their resumes.
