The Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization works collaboratively with colleges to offer internships to highly motivated and committed students who wish to build upon their college education with practical work experience in the fast-paced, results driven world of the National Football League. The internship program is a comprehensive and flexible strategy of applied learning incorporated into the college curriculum to enable the student to define, evaluate and achieve career-related objectives. This learning is based upon supervised work experiences in departments throughout the organization.
       The internship program offers students opportunities for personal, technical and professional development and practical, “hands on” experience working under the guidance of our department heads. Students learn technical skills, knowledge and behaviors critical to successful performance on the job. Interns also have the opportunity to work and network with industry professionals and local business leaders.
       Specific objectives for each intern are established by closely examining the intern’s background, selecting those areas of professional development that need greater emphasis, and working collaboratively with the intern to establish training objectives that will integrate, supplement and enhance the student’s academic program.
       We accept candidates from all major areas of study for internships; however, we attempt to match appropriate majors with the department offering the internship. Candidates must be current college students and must receive academic credit for the internship. Candidates must have housing available in the Tampa area and must be willing to work long and flexible hours including work weeks, Buccaneers home football games and Buccaneers events.
Interns will complete their learning experience by participating in a professional preparation clinic covering such topics as resume development, job search tips and interview guidelines to prepare them to enter the business world.
       The special events & team operations internship delivers hands-on training to students by instructing them in a live environment on all aspects of special events & team operations to include concept development/execution, budget, staffing, production, talent, operations, brand integrity, venue, security, parking, food and beverage, timeline creation and implementation, media tie-ins, etc. Interns will understand what it takes to deliver a positive experience to fans, guests, players, cheerleaders, partners and internal staff from start to finish (invite to exit) and at the same time effectively and seamlessly manage assigned team operations duties. Such duties consist of off-season planning for team travel to include away city hotel profiles, travel distances, trucking, hotel an ground transportation bids and agreements, contracts as well as off-season planning for training camp.
 

Due to the volume of resumes received, only applications received through TeamWork Online will be considered. Telephone calls are not accepted.
