In addition to departmental work, all interns are required to attend weekly OTAs which includes engagement with the Hall’s Management Team and other industry experts, networking, professional skill development and team building activities.

To be considered for the Summer Internship Program, students must have completed at least their sophomore year and be enrolled in a bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree program at a college or university during the internship or have just graduated in May of the year of their internship.

If an applicant is seeking college credit, the Hall of Fame will work to meet all necessary requirements.

“As an intern we had an Organized Team Activity (OTA) every Wednesday that included guest speakers from the management team, as well as outside guests from the Green Bay Packers and NFL Films. This OTA program sets you up for success by getting to know the other interns and also meeting the staff that makes this place special.” – Marcus, Intern Summer 2020
