ASTON, Penn.- Neumann University 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.
“We are extremely excited to partner with Podium X to provide the premier career platform for our student-athletes. Partnering with Podium X will help us to continue to enhance the student-athlete experience and ensure we are on the cutting edge of what student-athletes need and desire,” says John Krimmel, Director of Athletics & Recreation. “Being one of the first schools in Division III athletics shows our commitment to our student-athletes in helping them create their personal brand and prepare them for their future. Podium X also puts us in a great position to enhance our newly launched initiative with our Advancement Office to increase corporate sponsorships with Athletics. The amount of reach this product has in impacting many different areas of an Athletics Department shows why this is the premier product for any collegiate student-athlete.”
The Podium X platform (www.podiumx.com) allows the 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.
Krimmel shares, “We are proud to be the first Atlantic East institution to sign with Podium X and just the second Division III institution in the country. Podium X not only enhances the student-athlete experience but also helps our student-athletes to succeed now and in the future.”
Podium X is the premier solution for athlete career development, designed by experts in career services, staffing, talent management, and HR. Trusted by more than 20,000 student-athletes, it offers a comprehensive set of tools to support them throughout the career development and job placement process, as well as enhancing personal branding and marketing for sponsorship/NIL opportunities.
