Women in the Golf Industry (WIGI) is an industry association founded several years ago by women working in the industry.  Members work in all areas of the industry including retail, internet, communications, course design, and course management.  (Men may also join WIGI.)  Members are committed to promoting and encouraging more women in the industry as well as women golfers.  For information about WIGI see http://www.wigi.info.  Annual dues are $50. 

INTERN PROGRAM

WIGI is sponsoring an intern program for young women and men of high school and college age that would like to experience working in the industry.  Internships will be cooperatively designed by the intern and WIGI member.  In some cases, interns may be able to earn course credit.

The program is supervised by Nancy Berkley.  Nancy is the author of An Insider's Guide to Careers in the Golf Industry, which she wrote for the National Golf Foundation.

If you are interested in an internship, please contact her below.  You may also use the WIGI website at http://www.wigi.info.  Indicate:  the area you would like to work in (example:  retail sales, golf course management, public relations, internet).  Please provide information about previous work experience and education along with why you want to work in the golf industry.

We encourage internship applications of between 4 weeks and three months.  Note:  most internships will be unsalaried, but the mentorship and supevision will be excellent and a good resume builder. In some cases, intern and WIGI member may be able to obtain sponsors for minimum stipends.
