Charlotte, NC – The NJCAA has announced the debut of the NJCAA Opportunity Center, in a partnership with Game Plan, the new career platform dedicated to two-year colleges and their student-athletes across the United States. The one-of-a-kind opportunity provides tools for NJCAA student-athletes to directly connect with employers, explore jobs, and internships at no cost to them.
"Game Plan is incredibly excited to provide the Student-Athletes at the NJCAA a platform that allows them to connect directly with employers that will lead to meaningful employment opportunities. This platform streamlines the process in a significant way for both the NJCAA Student-Athletes and employers who use it," stated Max Wessell, Chairman of the Board at Game Plan.
Within the NJCAA Opportunity Center platform, employers can post and update networking and mentoring opportunities, as well as jobs and internships tailored to specific areas of study for student-athletes to explore career opportunities, while displaying their skills and experience in a custom-tailored profile.
"The NJCAA Opportunity Center is the first of its kind for any collegiate athletic association and allows NJCAA student-athletes to take advantage of this free and valuable resource," stated Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President & CEO. "We are committed to furthering opportunities for our student-athletes and this platform will do just that and the ability for much more in the future."
NJCAA student-athletes will have access to premiere career postings and one-of-a-kind connections. While the NJCAA Opportunity Center is the first of its kind for NJCAA student-athletes, the platform is also the first time that employers have the ability to connect to NJCAA student-athletes whose interests align with the employer's industry. The platform will also provide the ability to add additional resources to NJCAA student-athletes on a national level.
