Hello guys! I'm super interested in the NBA HBCU Internship program and was wondering if anyone here has ever participated or knows someone who has. What was the experience like? What kinds of work did you get to do, and did it help with job prospects post-graduation? Looking for any insights that might help me decide if I should apply.
Hey there! My son hasn't participated in this particular internship, but he did have friends who were part of the NBA HBCU Internship program last year. From what I've gathered, they were involved in various projects, some working on marketing initiatives and others getting hands-on experience with event management during games and community outreach programs.
The students were really enthusiastic about the real-world skills they developed, the professional network they built, and the mentorship they received. One even mentioned that the work they did during the internship was brought up during a job interview, which impressed the hiring manager. If you are passionate about sports and business and looking for an opportunity that could give you a unique edge in the workforce, I would say go for it! It's these kinds of experiences that can really make a difference when starting your career. Best of luck with whatever you decide!
