Forty-five interns working at professional leagues and clubs gathered in one place to receive job training essential for new graduates and shared career experiences with current professionals.

The Korea Professional Sports Association announced that it held the "2026 Professional Sports Internship Program Second-Half Job Training" on the 15th and 16th at a training facility in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

The "Professional Sports Internship Program Job Training" was organized to strengthen basic competencies required for practical work among interns recruited by professional leagues and clubs through the Association's "Professional Sports Internship Program." A total of 45 interns recently hired by 20 organizations and clubs across five sports — football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and golf — participated in this training. The program is organized by the Association with support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Corporation.

Over two days, interns built essential practical competencies through training on ▲AI utilization methods to improve work efficiency ▲business communication ▲and WorkSmart education. Additionally, interns from various sports and job functions formed teams together, and dedicated time was set aside for exchanging business cards, fostering networking and interaction among participants.

Notably, the program invited both current professionals who graduated from the Professional Sports Internship Program and practicing staff members from clubs to share their personal career paths and vivid practical experiences. Participants asked detailed questions about career concerns and job challenges, receiving thorough answers that helped resolve their uncertainties.

Jung Chan-ho, an intern with the KBO Operations Team, said, "It was meaningful to share experiences with people from diverse fields," and added, "Through AI training, I learned detailed usage methods from experts and was exposed to various AI tools, which I believe will be helpful for my future work." Park Jun-young, an intern with the KPGA Media Strategy Team, shared his thoughts: "The 'Meeting with Current Professionals' helped resolve uncertainties about career paths and job duties that were difficult to ask about before, and provided guidance on concretizing future directions based on the experiences and advice of current professionals."

The Association stated, "We plan to continue cooperating with each professional league and club to provide opportunities for hands-on experience to aspiring talents wishing to work in the professional sports field and to support their growth into individuals equipped with practical competencies."
