The National Basketball Association (NBA), as well as every individual team within the association, offer internships to students who are academically strong and passionate about basketball. Experience with the National Basketball Association is an impressive resume addition, regardless of where students wind up in their careers.

The NBA league office offers summer internships to students between their junior and senior years and to graduate students. The internships are all in New York City or Secaucus, New Jersey. Internships last for ten weeks and interns participate in events and activities that allow them to learn how the business of the NBA really works.

Each of the NBA, WNBA, and Development (AKA the G League) teams also offer a variety of internships to basketball aficionados. Internships are available in towns where professional basketball teams play ball. There are many departments that hire interns at different times of the year. Intern opportunities are offered in departments such as Graphic Design, Human Resources, Public Relations, Community Relations, Basketball Operations, Ticket Sales, Marketing, Promotions, Game Operations, Social Media, Photography, or many others depending on the team.
