As the semester concludes, interns are required to create a presentation describing their experience with the organization. This presentation will be shared with their fellow interns, as well as their supervisors and mentors.
Each semester, interns will be given the opportunity to interact and network with each other outside of work. Events range from opportunities like catered lunches, local hikes, watch parties, visiting local restaurants, and more!
In addition to the SE101 coordinators and direct program supervisor, each intern will be assigned a mentor who will serve as another resource for information, learning and conversation. Mentors will be available for shadow days, questions, general advice, and guidance.
The Nashville Predators Foundation empowered by SmileDirectClub is a vital part of the Nashville Predators impact on the Nashville and Tennessee community. There will be events hosted by the Foundation throughout the semester for which interns will have the opportunity to volunteer for.
During the semester there will be various programs and educational opportunities for interns to hear from speakers such as Preds CEO and President Sean Henry, COO Michelle Kennedy, and others who work in various departments throughout the organization.
Interns will begin their time in SMASHVILLE with Training Camp hosted by the SE101 coordinators. At Training Camp, interns will be welcomed into the organization and meet their fellow interns.
"Interning with the Nashville Predators had such a powerful impact as to where I am today. Gaining hands-on experience with an NHL organization not only prepared me for my current role but is something I will carry with me through the rest of my career. The comradery I share with everyone throughout the Predators started during my internship and certainly helped me get to where I am today."
"When I moved to Nashville to intern with the Preds, it was a huge step for me both personally and professionally. I moved here barely knowing anybody, but was welcomed to the Preds organization and was immediately given so many opportunities to learn, grow, and make an impact. Through my internship, I built relationships not only with those in the marketing department, but in nearly every other department in the organization, which absolutely contributed to the role I am in now. I would not be where I am without this internship and the opportunities it provided me as a college student!"
"Interning with the Nashville Predators opened my mind to the possibility of working in sports. Since day one I was able to work on real world projects that helped me determine what I wanted to do and they gave me the support I needed to excel in their internships as well as other internships and school work. I'm grateful for my experiences with this organization, the people I've been able to meet and the career growth that this opportunity continue to provide."
