The sports marketing classes from Smithtown High School East and West got an experience they will never forget this week.
The students participated in the Sports Business Day sponsored by the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.
The Jets welcomed in the students who were guided through different areas of the stadium and heard from business
executives in sales, marketing, social media and public relations. This was a chance for the students to get some real life insight from the people on the ground that are in the jobs themselves. The students were taught about their experiences from Jets executives and were able to network with other schools from across the tristate area. The tour included being able to walk onto the the field, to touring the press boxes and they were even able to take a walk through the locker room.
Sports marketing is an elective course for ninth-12th grade students in the Smithtown School of Business in the Career and Technical Education Department.
