Athletic Trainer Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a athletic trainer in Minnesota?

To work as an athletic trainer in Minnesota, you must earn a degree from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program and pass the Board of Certification exam administered by the BOC. Minnesota does not issue a separate state athletic trainer license, but employers require the BOC credential as a condition of hire. Most positions at hospitals and collegiate programs also expect a master's degree, which has become the standard entry level in the field.

How much do athletic trainers make in Minnesota?

Athletic trainers in Minnesota earn a median of about $65,390 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $57,910 for the lowest 10% to over $78,430 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire athletic trainers in Minnesota?

Employers hiring athletic trainers in Minnesota right now include Life Time, Planet Fitness, and Crunch Fitness, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Large health systems in the Twin Cities and Rochester account for the majority of postings, with additional openings at Minnesota's public and private universities and K-12 school districts across the metro.

Which Minnesota cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?

The cities with the most athletic trainer openings in Minnesota are Saint Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth. The Twin Cities metro drives the largest share of postings because of its concentration of major health systems, professional sports franchises, and university campuses, while Rochester's openings are anchored by Mayo Clinic's extensive sports medicine and rehabilitation programs.

Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Minnesota?

Yes, but they're rare. Athletic training is fundamentally a hands-on clinical and sideline role, so most positions require in-person presence at a facility, school, or venue. About 3% of athletic trainer openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be administrative, telehealth consultation, or population-health roles within larger health systems rather than traditional clinical or sports coverage positions.

How can I get hired as a athletic trainer in Minnesota with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a graduate assistantship or clinical residency tied to a Minnesota university athletic department, such as programs at the University of Minnesota or Minnesota State University, Mankato, which place new graduates in structured supervised roles. Allina Health and M Health Fairview both hire entry-level athletic trainers for outpatient sports medicine clinics, and many open positions accept candidates who completed their CAATE clinical hours in Minnesota settings. Holding a current BOC certification and state-recognized CPR credential gives new applicants a clear edge over those still pending.

Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Minnesota?

You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings in the state. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your credentials and preferred location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
