BluChip Student-Athlete Platform Internship Opportunity

BluChip is a dedicated platform where student-athletes can showcase the experiences and skills that make them exceptional workforce members. Internship applications with BluChip are competitive, as we seek interns who will contribute to and learn from a business startup's dynamic, fast-paced environment. This is a paid opportunity, contingent upon interns meeting monthly signup and engagement goals. Compensation is $20/hour.
 

It is important to us to find interns who:

• Demonstrate the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Prioritize producing their best work while maintaining accountability in meeting goals and deadlines.
• Value opportunities to engage and collaborate with a team of senior professional advisors.

BluChip Interns are expected to:

• Meet monthly signup and engagement goals (see below).
• Articulate the purpose and value of the BluChip platform.
• Effectively promote the BluChip platform both on campus and online.
• Develop an outreach communication plan to connect with student-athletes at your school and leverage your network of student-athlete friends across other universities and conferences.
• Collaborate with the BluChip leadership team to provide feedback on the platform’s product and strategy.

BluChip monthly signup and engagement goals are determined by the size of your college or university:

• Schools with fewer than 5,000 students: 20 new signups per month.
• Schools with 5,000–15,000 students: 40 new signups per month.
• Schools with more than 15,000 students: 60 new signups per month.

Interns must also regularly share and follow BluChip on social media, posting at least twice weekly.

Signups can come from a variety of sources, including current student-athletes, club sports members, student-athlete alumni, high school alumni, and university staff or faculty from your institution or other colleges, universities, or conferences.
