Project
Premier League Insight Day
Offers a behind-the-scenes look at the heart of English football. It’s where key decisions are made, fixtures are planned, rules are shaped, and the league’s global brand is managed. From high-tech match analysis rooms to media and governance teams, the HQ is the control center that keeps the world’s most-watched football league running smoothly
Overview
From the moment we arrived, the students were immersed in the world of football beyond the pitch. Through a series of engaging presentations, creative challenges, and interview preparation sessions, they gained a deeper understanding of the diverse career pathways within the Premier League—spanning media, marketing, community engagement, legal, operations, and more.
A standout moment of the day was our carousel-style networking session, where 25 Premier League employees rotated around small groups of students, sharing their career journeys, insights, and invaluable advice. This open, honest exchange created a powerful space for connection and mentorship—and left a lasting impression on everyone involved.
The impact? Immediate and visible. The students walked away more confident, more informed, and more motivated to explore the many opportunities available to them—both in and beyond football.
Celebrating growth. We’re proud to celebrate two incredible students who recently completed their work experience
Inside Story
Throughout the week, they explored a range of key employability skills—from goal setting and mock interviews with industry professionals, to designing a social media marketing plan for an athlete and learning how successful organisations measure impact. A standout moment was their visit to the Premier League headquarters, where they spent the day with Samuel Akpan, gaining real insight into how campaigns are built, how talent is woven into strategy, and how teams work together toward a shared mission.
