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

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

'Professional Sports Internship Program Job Training' was organized to strengthen basic competencies required for practical work among interns recruited by professional sports organizations and clubs through the 'Professional Sports Internship Program' operated by the association. This year's training included 45 recently hired interns from 20 organizations and clubs across five sports: professional football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and golf. The training 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, allowing them to network and interact with one another.

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

He added, "Through AI training, I learned detailed usage methods from experts and had the opportunity to explore various AI tools, which I believe will be helpful for my future work." Park Jun-young, an intern from the KPGA Media Strategy Team, shared his thoughts: "The 'Meeting with Current Professionals' helped resolve uncertainties about career paths and job tasks that were difficult to ask about before. Based on the experiences and advice of current professionals, it was helpful in concretizing our future directions."
