The Bridgeport Islanders are proud to unveil their second annual Women in Sports Job Shadow Program, designed to introduce young women to the sports and entertainment industry through hands-on experience, mentorship and networking.
Participants will have the opportunity to shadow women within the Bridgeport Islanders’ front office. Positions range from Ticket Operations, Seating and Corporate Partnerships, Game Presentation, Digital Marketing, Community Relations, and Content Production.
“This is great opportunity for young women who want to break into the sports industry, but aren’t exactly sure where to start,” Digital Marketing and Community Relations Manager Haley Castellari said. “We were thrilled with the overwhelming response last season and are eager to bring the program back.”
Beginning today, Jan. 6th, those interested can APPLY HERE and may do so through Feb. 3rd. Applicants will be selected on Tuesday, Feb. 4th. Chosen applicants will take part in an orientation at Total Mortgage Arena on Wednesday, Feb. 18th from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m., which will offer an overview of the program and inspire participants as they begin. Participants will meet their mentors during the orientation as well.
“This is an awesome opportunity for young women to directly meet with someone working for a professional team, and it kick-start their career in sports,” Game Presentation Manager Megan Hopton said.
Participants will enjoy an office-shadow day on either Thursday, Feb. 20th or Friday, Feb. 21st, depending on the mentor's availability, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Another shadow session will take place during a game day on Saturday, Feb. 22nd from 2 p.m. – 10 p.m.
