Vacancy: intern (f/m) Nederlandse Vechtsportautoriteit (higher professional education/university)

THIS VACANCY HAS SINCE CLOSED

The Nederlandse Vechtsportautoriteit (Dutch Martial Arts Authority) is looking for an enthusiastic intern (f/m) for a work placement combined with carrying out a research project. You will make an important contribution to the implementation and monitoring of the Keurmerk Vechtsportautoriteit (quality mark of the Dutch Martial Arts Authority) that will be launched in January 2021. This quality mark is intended to raise the quality of martial arts gyms and also serves as the link between municipalities and the martial arts sector.

What do we offer?

We are a compact, young organisation with a pioneering role in regulating the full contact martial arts kickboxing, Thai boxing and MMA in the Netherlands. Our place of work is hosted by the City of Amsterdam (gemeente Amsterdam). You will get the chance to really familiarise yourself with martial arts organisations in the Netherlands, from the gym around the corner to the largest international promotions such as Glory and UFC. We can introduce you to them and guide you. We will determine the exact content and scope of the research together. Through us you will get to know not only the martial arts organisations, but also municipal government and other national sports organisations. We offer an internship for the period February 2021 to July 2021, on average around three to four days per week. The exact duration and scope can be agreed in consultation.

What do we ask of you?

Commitment, interest and above all enjoyment. Ultimately that also determines the quality of your work. In addition, you should enjoy doing research, it helps if you write fluently and well, and you must be willing to help us with all kinds of tasks that come our way and yours during your internship, such as attending and scheduling meetings and helping to write news items or meeting reports. You are flexible and do not mind being called upon in the evening or at the weekend now and then. You are also able to work independently.

Above all, you must be eager to learn. We expect a curious, open attitude from you as an intern. An affinity with (martial arts) sport is a requirement. The minimum level is the final phase of higher professional education (HBO) or university (WO), in relevant fields such as Sport, Management & Entrepreneurship, Sports Marketing, Human Movement Sciences, Social Sciences, or Marketing and Communication.
