UPCOMING EVENTS

We are excited to share that we're accepting applications for our inaugural HBCU Fellowship Program. The HBCU Fellowship Program aims to provide career development opportunities in the business of basketball for undergraduate and graduate students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

If you know of any current full-time HBCU undergraduate (rising juniors and seniors) and graduate students that would be interested in working at the NBA, please encourage them to apply from now through February 20, 2022.

The Fellowship Program will run from June 6- August 12, 2022. Fellows will be selected by NBA teams and the league office to work within various departments, including ticket sales, corporate partnerships, legal, social responsibility, and marketing. Candidates will be interviewed on a rolling basis, and offers will be extended in early spring.

Thank you, and please let me know if any questions.

The HR Corner

Whether you’re entering the market for the first time or switching roles to find a more suitable work environment, you should consider what it will be like on your new team before you make the jump — and that starts with understanding their culture.

At work, “culture” is a word used to describe the way people behave within an organization and the attitudes and beliefs that reflect those behaviors. It’s the way people communicate, interact, and in general, work with each other. To read more, please click here.
