The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles Penn Centre of Excellence is set to become a hub for aspiring sports administrators as the NRL club launches the Sea Eagles Sports Business Academy.
Sea Eagles launch Sports Business Academy
In an exciting new partnership with TAFE Queensland, the Institute will offer the double Diploma of Sport, and Diploma of Leadership & Management, as an accredited education pathway that embeds hands-on learning across an entire sporting organisation.
Applications are closing soon for the July cohort of the Sea Eagles Sports Business Academy Dual Diploma.
The year-long course will offer students unparalleled insights into the operations of an NRL club, with students immersed in the Sea Eagles' daily operations.
Students will complete 100 hours of work integrated learning across various club departments, including management, marketing, and media. Two full-time employment roles at the Sea Eagles will then be offered to selected students upon course completion.
Initially capped at 35 students, the first intake of the 12-month course will commence in July 2025 and run through until May 2026, with a second intake to kick off in January next year.
In addition, the program offers graduates direct articulation into a range of university pathways for those students who wish to continue their studies.
These pathways cater to degrees specialising in sports development, sports management, and business, allowing students to further their education and pursue higher education in the sports industry, enriching their career prospects and industry knowledge.
Registrations are now being taken for the Sea Eagles Sports Business Academy online information session to be held at 6pm on Thursday 12th June.
