The three-day experience is designed to assist participants in charting their professional paths while gaining exposure to various roles within the industry.
Throughout the forum, attendees will engage in panel discussions, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with athletics administrators, coaches, and national governing body representatives at the campus, conference, and national levels. Programming focuses on helping student-athletes identify how their personal strengths align with career opportunities, while also providing practical tools for career development and transition into the sports industry.
Participants will gain insight into key areas such as personal branding, career planning, and navigating the sports job market, while also learning about the responsibilities of intercollegiate coaches, athletics administrators, and governing body staff members.
The forum is open to nominated NCAA student-athletes in their third, fourth, fifth, or graduate years of eligibility who have competed in an NCAA-sponsored sport during the current academic year.
