Saskatchewan Roughriders Internship Program


Introducing the brand new Saskatchewan Roughrider Internship Program. With this extensive and selective program, our goal is to provide meaningful entry level experience to current Saskatchewan students and new post-secondary grads. This program provides an environment for young professionals to share their fresh perspective with a team that will help support, grow and foster that knowledge and passion.

Many grow up imagining what it would be like working in professional sports, but what does that career path really look like? Successful applicants will have the opportunity to get a personal, behind the scenes look into one of the top sports brands in Canada. Through our offerings, interns will gain exposure across many areas of business while creating meaningful and lasting connections. This exciting challenge will allow students to build a foundation for promising career opportunities in the future.

The Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club is built on a community of passionate individuals who share the same values and goals, both on and off the field. We are looking for top local talent to share, inspire and grow the passion that fuels Rider Nation! It can be very challenging to get your foot in the door in professional sports, so our goal is to help students and new grads build that foundation for their future, all while having a little fun along the way.
