U.S. Internships | U.K. Internships

IMG's world-class Intership Program attracts thousands of candidates from around the world every year. Intern placements are based on candidate qualifications and IMG's current business needs. Interns are typically exposed to the day-to-day operations of specific departments, as well as general office procedures. Depending on the office location or division, interns may also be involved in locally sponsored IMG events.

U.S. Internship Program

Now in its seventeenth year in the U.S., the IMG Internship Program attracts over 1,500 applicants a year. The majority of our internships are located in Cleveland and New York. Intern placements are based on candidate qualifications and IMG's current business needs.

The 2008 Summer Program is from June 9 - August 1. Deadline for resume submission is January 31, 2008.

Application Process

A cover letter and resume will serve as the formal application to the program.  Applicants should specify in cover letter any preferences with regard to department placement or office location.  Requests will be taken into consideration during the placement process, but there are no guarantees that applicants will be placed in their department or office location of choice.

Candidates will be notified by mail in late February if they have been selected for an interview. All interviews take place during the month of March in Cleveland, New York or via the telephone (for those unable to attend a personal interview in either city). Final decisions and selection notifications are made by mid-April.

Resumes should be mailed or e-mailed to the following addresses:

Expenses

IMG will not be responsible for any travel expenses incurred during the interviewing process, or actual fees incurred throughout the summer such as housing, meals or parking.

Eligibility Requirements

All intern positions are non-paying. Academic credit should be received for the internship experience from a university or graduate school in lieu of compensation. This can be a formal course credit, or extra credit that a specific professor is willing to provide.  IMG requires confirmation of academic credit eligibility before granting an applicant an interview. Preferred candidates should be in junior standing or in graduate/law school. 

Intern Activities

The interns will have several social activities scheduled throughout the summer. Executive Speaker Days will include various department personnel discussing their own IMG experiences, while also allowing the interns to participate actively in group discussions with the executives.

Non-Summer Semester Program Information

IMG also offers internships during the fall and spring semesters. These internships are part-time and typically last four months.  Applications for the fall and spring semester are accepted throughout the year.

U.K. Programme Information

Now in its eleventh year in the U.K., IMG's Intership Programme attracts over 500 applicants a year. The internships are located in London, the company's European headquarters. Intern placements are based on the candidate's background and IMG's current business needs.

Summer Internship

PLEASE NOTE: The final day for submission of applications is Friday 29TH February 2008.  Any applications received past this date will not be accepted and if you wish to apply for the Summer Internship 2009 you will need to resubmit your application anytime from 1st November 2008.

The Summer Internship Programme is highly competitive. The 2008 programme begins on Monday 7th July 2008 and runs for eight weeks.

Intern Activities

During the programme, interns will attend seminars given by senior executives, who will talk about their own IMG experiences, whilst also allowing the interns to actively participate in group discussions. This gives the interns a unique insight into the workings of IMG, and provides them with a rounded understanding of what the company does.

Interns are required to organise a group event in which all IMG employees can participate. They will also be asked to present to the other interns and their Line Manager at the end of the programme, outlining what they have done and achieved during their internship.

Application Process

Applications can be submitted at any time from early November to the end of February for the following summer. If you are interested, please download and complete the Summer Internship Application form. Then send it with a cover letter to the recruitment coordinator at ukinterns@imgworld.com

Please include in your covering letter any special interests that you have in connection with your application or any future aspirations. Preferences will be noted but business needs will take precedence. Candidates will be notified in early March if they have been selected for an interview. Final decisions will be made in April/May. Interns will be notified of their business unit placement when a formal offer is extended. 
 

Graduate Internship

We also offer a graduate internship for recent graduates. These internships are dependent on business needs so may arise in any department at any time throughout the year. IMG's internship programme is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates wishing to pursue a career in the sports marketing industry. It offers the chance to work in a challenging and rewarding environment and, while there is no guarantee that an internship will lead to something more permanent, it can be a great stepping stone.

Each intern is asked to make a commitment of 3-6 months.

If you are interested, please download and complete the Graduate Internship Application form. Then send it with a covering letter and CV to the recruitment coordinator at ukinterns@imgworld.com.

We will keep it on file ready to submit to any Line Manager who requests the help of an intern. It can be quite competitive and placements are not necessarily available immediately so please be patient.

The internship provides paid work experience. It is not a graduate recruitment scheme and there is no guarantee of a full-time or permanent appointment for interns.  However, interns are welcome to apply for any available vacancies during, at the end of, or after their time with us.  Many do go on to work at IMG or return later in their careers.

Detailed terms and conditions are available on application.  Current standard pay terms are  £200 per week for a 35-hour week, Monday-Friday (unless the placement forms an accredited part of fulltime studies).  It will be important to have access to accommodation within commuting distance of the London offices.   IMG will not be responsible for any travel expenses incurred during the interview process.
