MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – Barry University uses Podium X to offer student-athletes career development and personal marketing tools. Podium X changes the way student-athletes prepare and apply for jobs and internships, as well as market themselves for NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) prospects.
“We are excited to partner with Podium X to provide our student athletes with another valuable resource to prepare for success beyond their time in athletics,” says Frank Gonzalez, Associate Athletic Director for Academics and Support Services. “Our goal is to help student-athletes recognize the skills and experiences they develop through competition and translate them into meaningful career, internship, and professional opportunities. Podium X will be an important addition to our commitment to developing the whole student-athlete and preparing them for life after sport.”
The Podium X platform (www.podiumx.com) takes a fresh approach to the student-athlete experience by offering an online profile that is specially designed for athletes to highlight their unique journey and valuable soft skills often developed through athletics. This Podium Profile serves as an enhanced resume listing business, athletic, leadership, and educational experience, even media clips about their sports careers. Students can create traditional resume PDFs with one click, apply to jobs within the platform or externally with AI assistance to create cover letters, thank you notes, interview prep and resume optimization. With the recent addition of an all-encompassing resume parser, athletes can upload and customize resumes with 20 templates, fonts, colors, column spacing, and more.
