Description

The goals for this presentation for Sport Management first-year students will focus on fostering early awareness and implementation of essential skills and strategies needed to excel in the sport industry. Firstly, students should aim to establish a polished professional image through their appearance and maintain a consistent, strategic digital presence on platforms like LinkedIn and TeamworkOnline. This will enhance their visibility and credibility to potential employers.

Additionally, students will learn to prioritize active engagement in campus activities to build hands-on experience and transferable skills. This involvement should complement efforts to develop robust resumes and cover letters tailored for competitive internship and job applications. Moreover, they should cultivate meaningful relationships through networking with professors, peers, and industry professionals. These proactive steps will prevent last-minute internship scrambles and ensure that by graduation, students have the necessary experience, connections, and confidence to succeed in their career pursuits.
