AAU Internship Program

The AAU offers internships at its National Headquarters in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, providing on-the-job learning experiences for college students.  Our internships offer participants the opportunity to gain experience in their chosen field of study.

The departments of the AAU that offer internship positions are as follows:

• Event Operations – All Sports – Emphasis on events hosted at Disney’s Wide World of Sports® Complex
• Sports – Athletics, Baseball, Boy’s Basketball, Girl’s Basketball & Volleyball
• AAU Junior Olympic Games –Registration Coordinator & Hospitality Coordinator (more information coming soon)
• Finance
• Marketing & Communications – Media Coordinator for AAU Junior Olympic Games & Media Coordinator for events hosted at Disney’s Wide World of Sports® Complex
• Information Systems – Web Site Development

Applicants are able to request their top three areas of interest in which they prefer to serve. 

To qualify as an intern, students must:

• Be in good academic standing and a full time student
• Be completed with their Sophomore year
• Be enrolled in a relevant bachelor’s or graduate degree program
• Have great oral and written communication skills
• Meet minimum qualifications and requirements of the position.
• Be authorized to work in the U.S. for any company.

The job performance of fall and spring interns is evaluated twice during the semester and summer interns are evaluated twice during the 12-week internship.  The intern’s manager performs a midway and final evaluation.  Fall and spring interns will receive a final evaluation at the termination of their part time internship.  In AAU’s effort to grow and improve the intern program, each intern is asked to provide feedback and program summary at the completion of his or her work assignment.

AAU encourages qualified candidates to apply for open positions.  Your resume will be reviewed and considered for the open position for which you have applied.  In the event that your qualifications and experience match with the requirements of the position, you will be contacted by an AAU representative.

Due to the high number and volume of resumes and applications the AAU receives, we are not able to directly contact everyone who applies; however, each applicant will receive an automated response indicating receipt of their resume.
