Fresno State Partners with Podium X

Fresno, Cal. –Fresno State University Athletics is using Podium X to offer career development and personal marketing tools to its student-athletes. 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) opportunities.

“Fresno State is dedicated to the holistic development of our student-athletes while they are competing and beyond,” says Carlie Corrigan, Director of Student-Athlete Development at Fresno State. “Capitalizing on the capabilities of Podium X in both the career and name, image, and likeness space will elevate the student-athlete experience and extend support into their life after graduation.”

The Podium X platform (www.podiumx.com) allows creation of an online profile that is specially designed for athletes to highlight their unique journey and valuable soft skills often developed through athletics. Student-athletes can represent themselves digitally or create traditional resume PDFs or NIL Pitch Profiles with a click and be matched to hundreds of national job openings. Employers post job openings and can view student profiles that match the skills they need.

Podium X was developed by experts in career services with extensive experience in staffing and recruiting, training/development, talent management, and human resources. It is backed by the power of XPG Recruit Athlete, a division of Jacksonville, Florida based XPG Recruit, with an experienced team that specializes in placing graduated athletes into career opportunities.
