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
