Technology platform helps student-athletes gain notice for careers, internships, grad school, and NIL opportunities.
OXFORD, Ohio – The Champions for Life Leadership Academy (C4L) has announced its partnership with Podium X, a career development and personal marketing tool that changes the way athletes prepare and apply for jobs and internships as well as market themselves for NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities.
Â
"We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to bring Podium X to our Champions 4 Life Leadership Academy (C4L) to support our student-athletes in their professional development while at Miami and beyond," says David Sayler, Director of Athletics.
"We look forward to showcasing our student-athletes' skills and accomplishments in ways that position them for the best careers possible upon graduation," says Emily Cisek, Director of the Champions 4 Life Leadership Academy (C4L).
Â
The Podium X platform (www.podiumx.com) allows creation of an online profile that is specially designed for athletes to highlight their unique journey and valuable soft skills often developed through athletics. Student- athletes can represent themselves digitally or create traditional resume PDFs or NIL Pitch Profiles with a click and be matched to hundreds of national job openings. Employers post job openings and can view student profiles that match the skills they need.
Â
"We are looking forward to getting Podium X on campus and sharing our personal marketing tools for NIL and career readiness tools," says Rich Thompson, Founder & CEO of Podium X. "As a former collegiate athlete and HR executive, I know the value athletic experience brings to the workplace. We want to help student-athletes showcase themselves in the best possible way to highlight those lessons learned and position themselves for career success upon graduation."
Â
Podium X was developed by experts in career services with extensive experience in staffing and recruiting, training/development, talent management, and human resources. It is backed by the power of XPG Recruit Athlete, a division of Jacksonville, Florida based XPG Recruit, with an experienced team that specializes in placing graduated athletes into career opportunities.
