The Trenton Thunder Internship Program is a great way for college level students to acquire credits and/or experience while learning the business side of Minor League Baseball. Our program is one of the most unique and beneficial throughout baseball, providing a number of students with an overall learning experience to include such areas as: Ticket Operations, Public Relations, Marketing & Promotions, Stadium Operations, Merchandise, Production, Baseball Operations and General Office Management.
 

In addition, Thunder interns will work each Trenton Thunder home game as part of our Team Thunder staff. This creates an opportunity for the intern to interact with fans and to apply what they have learned in office to actual game time situations.

Interns will work 2 days a week in the Thunder front office. Extra time will be provided to some, upon request, based on a first come, first serve basis as well as any special circumstances that may arise.

Some of these appearances occur after business hours and on weekends.
