Sports Promotion Corporation pushes for internships with international sports organizations...Strengthen international cooperation



The Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation will send interns to five international sports organizations as part of the 「International Sports Talent Training Internship」 process to strengthen the field experience of future sports talents.

In June, the Sports Corporation formed a working-level consultative body with eight international sports organizations in Lausanne, Switzerland, and secured the foundation for future sports talent to enter international organizations.

This time, seven interns will be dispatched to five organizations: the International University Sports Federation (FISU), the International School of Sports Science and Technology (AISTS), the International Air Sports Federation (FAI), the World Baseball Softball Federation (WBSC), and the World Olympic City Federation (WUOC). The dispatched interns are excellent students of competency-building training conducted in Korea for about two months, and they will have about three months of practical experience at international organizations from late August to mid-December.




An official from the Korea Sports Corporation said, "This internship based on the cooperation system of international organizations is an important starting point for future sports talents to enter the international arena. We will continue to provide systematic support to strengthen the international competitiveness of domestic sports talents in the future."

Meanwhile, the Sports Corporation plans to expand internships with the International Swimming Federation (WA), the International School Sports Federation (ISF), and the International Federation of Sports Federation (SportsAccord).
