ERIE SPORTS COMMISSION INTERNSHIP PROGRAM - SPRING 2027

It’s what you know AND who you know! Through our internship program, the ESC offers college students a valuable opportunity to gain an inside view of the sports business world each semester. Interns work side-by-side with staff in the fields of event management, marketing, and communications, learning first-hand all that goes into sports event acquisition.

Interns work a fixed schedule of 20 hours per week, depending on availability and credit requirements. Hours are scheduled based on the selected students' availability, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, in the office. Students will be asked to work several weekend events throughout the semester. 

Interns will earn $12 per hour, paid bi-weekly, for up to 20 hours of work per week, in addition to eligible college credit.
