The National Society of Black Sports Professionals (BSP) Inc. has partnered with TeamWork Online (TW), the #1 way to find jobs in the sports and entertainment industry, after years of grassroots collaboration, to provide BSP members nationally greater access to employers and career opportunities, tools for members to better position their profiles and candidacies and networking opportunities.
Active BSP members will receive access to the TeamWorkU program, which focuses on young professionals and students getting hired faster. This access includes weekly career development newsletters, a profile analyzer and discounts to TW events. BSP members will also have their activation fee waived if they want to upgrade their standard TW account to an account with MVP Access.
TeamWork Online’s MVP Access provides greater benefits to users including:
- Exposure – BSP member applications stand out and rise to the top of the employer’s job folder
- Transparency – BSP members are able to see the date the employer took action on their application
- Competition Assessment – BSP members are able to see how many candidates are vying for a specific job
- Coaching – BSP members will receive weekly coaching tips from employers, online hires and TW founder, Buffy Filippell
BSP Chapters will have access to TeamWork’s 60+ career fairs and networking events nationwide annually and TW will also be in attendance at BSP national and chapter events, when possible, and collaborate on virtual programming opportunities annually.
