WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue Athletics 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.
The Podium X platform (www.podiumx.com) allows creation of an online profile that is specially designed for student-athletes to highlight their unique journey and valuable soft skills often developed through athletics. This Podium profile serves as an enhanced resume by listing business, athletic, leadership, educational experience, and even media clips about their sports careers. Student-athletes can create traditional resume PDFs with one click, apply to curated jobs within the platform or external jobs with AI assistance to create cover letters, thank you notes, interview prep and resume optimization.
“We admire Purdue University’s dedication to offering their student-athletes as many development and career opportunities as possible. Podium X is excited to be a part of those outstanding efforts,” says Ann Schulz, President of Podium X. “Through our unique approach that highlights the skills and experience acquired through athletics, we elevate the career success of student-athletes both while on campus and after their athletics are over.”
