BSI Internship Programme

Empowering the Next Generation of Jamaican Sports Leaders

Dive With Yona 2025 Participants

At Bedrock Sports Initiative, our vision extends beyond the boards. As we expand diving within Jamaica, we are committed to building a sustainable ecosystem. One driven by passionate, skilled, and forward-thinking young professionals.

This Voluntary Internship Programme is an exclusive opportunity offered solely to students attending the September 10th presentation by Yona Knight-Wisdom at the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech).

Operating under the direct guidance and mentorship of the Aquatic Sports Association of Jamaica’s Diving Committee, this initiative is designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world execution in sports management, sports coaching, and sports media.

We do not offer generic helper roles or routine coffee runs. As an Intern at Bedrock Sports Initiative, you will be embedded directly into our operations, gaining authentic, hands-on experience that will accelerate your career.

The roles available include:

  • Assistant Diving Coach

    • Active Training Support

    • Athlete Analytics & Technology

    • Safety, Governance & Environment

  • Content & Social Media

    • On-the-Ground Content Capture

    • Content Creation & Curation

    • Community Engagement & Analytics

  • Administration

    • Committee & Governance Support

    • Operational Logistics

    • Data Management & Communications

passion is the springboard to success
