Interns working at professional leagues and clubs gathered in one place to receive job training essential for new graduates and to engage in networking opportunities, including mentoring by current professionals.

The Korea Professional Sports Association announced that it conducted the '2026 Professional Sports Internship Program First-Half Job Training' from the 22nd to the 23rd at a training facility in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

'Professional Sports Internship Job Training' is a job competency enhancement program for interns recruited by various professional leagues and clubs through the 'Professional Sports Internship Program.' A total of 47 interns recently hired by 17 organizations and clubs, including professional soccer, baseball, volleyball, and golf, participated in the training. The training is organized by the association, with support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Seoul Olympic Park Memorial National Sports Promotion Corporation.

Over two days, interns improved their job competencies through training on AI utilization for enhancing work efficiency, business communication, and work-smart practices. They also formed teams by evenly distributing various sports and job roles and held separate business card exchange sessions to expand their professional networks.

Notably, the program invited current professionals working at professional leagues and clubs who had passed through the Professional Sports Internship Program to share their career paths and vivid practical experiences. Participants had the opportunity to resolve their questions by receiving detailed answers to inquiries about their career paths and work-related concerns.

Hwang In-chan, an intern from GS Sports Volleyball Operations Team who participated in the training, stated, "As a new graduate, I had been concerned about how to properly address my superiors and how to submit reports. Through the 'Business Communication' training, I was able to grasp specific practical know-how such as business etiquette and effective reporting methods, which was very helpful." Kim Min-seong, an intern from the Daegu FC Management Support Team, said, "Through the 'Current Professionals' Career Growth Story' training, I was able to learn not only about soccer but also about the vivid experiences and know-how of professionals from other sports, which was very beneficial."

The association stated, "We plan to continue cooperating with each professional league and club to provide internship opportunities for aspiring talents who wish to work in the professional sports field and to support their growth into professionals equipped with practical competencies."
