Entry Level Athletic Trainer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level athletic trainer job?
Entry level athletic trainer employers look for BOC certification or eligibility, state licensure, and hands-on clinical hours completed during your degree program. Candidates who stand out typically have documented internship experience, strong references from clinical supervisors, and familiarity with injury evaluation and rehabilitation protocols. Tailoring your resume to highlight specific patient populations you worked with during rotations gives you a clear edge at this stage.

Companies hiring entry level athletic trainers right now include Crunch Fitness, Life Time, and Equinox, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Employers at this level range from high schools and universities to sports medicine clinics, hospital systems, and professional sports organizations actively building their coverage staff.
Are there remote entry level athletic trainer jobs?
Yes, though most athletic trainer roles are on-site by nature. About 2% of entry level athletic trainer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, typically covering administrative, telehealth consultation, or health and wellness coordination roles that do not require direct sideline coverage or in-person rehabilitation work.
Are these new grad athletic trainer jobs?

A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts clinical rotations or internships toward the requirement, or explicitly states that a strong portfolio of supervised work can substitute for full-time post-graduation experience. Many employers at this level are actively recruiting new graduates entering the field.
Which industries hire the most entry level athletic trainers?
Entry Level athletic trainer roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Sports & Recreation, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026.
