Sports & Entertainment Career Exploration Workshop

The Sports & Entertainment industry is one of the most exciting fields in the world—but it’s also much bigger than what students see on TV. This workshop gives middle and high school students a realistic, behind‑the‑scenes look at the careers that make the industry run.


Students will explore the wide range of opportunities available, including roles in:

  • Sports medicine & athletic training
  • Coaching, scouting, and player development
  • Event production & stage management
  • Broadcasting, media, and content creation
  • Marketing, branding, and public relations
  • Music business, artist management, and promotions
  • Venue operations & game‑day management
  • Technology, analytics, and digital entertainment


Through hands‑on activities and conversations with industry professionals, students will learn what skills are needed, how people get started, and what pathways lead to long‑term success. The goal is to help students understand that there are real, achievable careers in sports and entertainment—far beyond being an athlete or performer.


This workshop is perfect for students who love creativity, teamwork, leadership, or the energy of live events and want to explore how their passions can become a career.
