As an emerging practice in the Athletic Training profession, the industrial setting still strives for total recognition in occupational health. Though many states have passed legislation to give American workers access to the full scope of athletic training care, some states still lag behind best practices. In addition, employment opportunities are obscure and employee agency murky. In a collaborative environment, IATS promotes civic engagement and AT empowerment across the country to foster professional growth and job transparency.

Are you an AT Student Looking for a Clinical Opportunity?
The search for an industrial AT internship can seem daunting, but it is a very valuable way to use one of your internship slots and we appreciate your interest. Though the benefits of this setting are widely known (high pay, predictable hours, autonomy), the setting is still challenging and there is no better way to learn about those challenges that experiencing it for yourself. Higher paying industrial employers typically look for experienced ATs so an industrial internship can not only increase your chances of getting the job, but open you up to a higher pay band.
Industrial sites differ from each other just as much as different sports do. Obtaining an industrial internship can help you learn which clients you would want to (or would not) work with. We have identified organizations with preceptorships to help you hopefully find an internship that works for you.
