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. Some of the game day responsibilities include: ticket taker, usher, Kid Zone, manual scoreboard, promotional handouts, on field promotions, and parking lot attendant.
 

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.

Interns will be required to make ticket sales calls each day. The Thunder will provide the intern with a list of previous/potential ticket buyers to work from. All interns will also be taught how to make sales calls and close deals. It is a process we view as extremely important and essential to working in Minor League Baseball.

Throughout the season the Trenton Thunder attend various functions such as charity events, reading programs, etc. Many of these programs require the team mascot (Boomer) to make an appearance. All interns are set on a rotational schedule to make appearances as the mascot for these events throughout the year. This is fun way for the intern to see how we at the Thunder support various organizations and participate throughout the community. Some of these appearances occur after business hours and on weekends.
 

Interns are expected to start in January and stay until the end of the Thunder season or until they have to leave for college. (End of August) It is also quite possible each intern will be required to sign a contract, before they start their internship, which outlines everything in this document. (I.e. start/end dates, commitment of excellence, etc)
