From studies to the Bundesliga

Katharina has studied Sport & Event Management in Iserlohn. “I have been guided by the experiences I gained in my internship. I noticed early on there that I wanted to work at a soccer club and that working in this club structure was really good fun for me. Of course all of the lectures helped me to find out my strengths and weaknesses as well as figure out what I really wanted to in the future and what I wanted to focus on. Many presentations on the topic of soccer held above and beyond the lectures were always extremely helpful and reinforced my career choice.
My mandatory internship which I was able to do at the events agency had a particularly strong impact. I was employed there as a freelance project manager after my internship and was able to gain professional experience while studying. Projects included organizing events for BVB (Borussia Dortmund soccer club) (season opener, employee party, etc.). This way I was also able to gain first experiences with events related to a soccer club.”
