What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate or graduate student might want to consider?
Yes, many teams, especially mine, take interns. Usually, having continuity for the full season is pretty hard if you have just a summer intern or somebody who's there just during the season.
But usually, internship positions are posted on Teamwork Online. That's really the best way to find these opportunities.
Something I also notice with candidates who really want to demonstrate their interest in the field or even just get exposure is taking part-time positions with teams. These aren't necessarily in the exact function they want, but they give them more insight into what it's like to work in the industry and how these organizations operate.
