Level 1: Making the Most of Internships and Studentships
Learn how to find placements, apply successfully, and make the most of your opportunities
One of the main entry routes to professional analysis is through an internship or studentship at a professional club. These placements give you the opportunity to gain skills and network with football professionals. Sometimes a placement is almost an extended job interview: as an intern, you’re well-placed when it comes time for the club to hire a new analyst.
But it’s not always easy to find the right placement, make a successful application, or get the most out of the opportunity once you’ve earned it.
This module provides helpful tips for every stage of the process, from analysts who’ve been through it to land full-time jobs.
The module is CPD accredited, so you can add it to your CV to show you’re serious about a career in football.
