Certified Athletic Trainer Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a certified athletic trainer in Minnesota?
To practice as a certified athletic trainer in Minnesota, you must hold an active license issued by the Minnesota Board of Athletic Training. That requires graduating from a CAATE-accredited program, passing the Board of Certification exam, and submitting a licensure application to the Minnesota Board of Athletic Training. Minnesota does not have a temporary practice permit, so your license must be active before you begin working with patients or student athletes.
How much do certified athletic trainers make in Minnesota?
Certified 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 certified athletic trainers in Minnesota?
Minnesota certified athletic trainer roles are posted by Planet Fitness, Crunch Fitness, and Essentia Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Minnesota's large integrated health systems, collegiate athletic departments, and outplacement athletic training contracts with K-12 districts generate particularly steady openings throughout the year.
Which Minnesota cities have the most certified athletic trainer jobs?
Minneapolis, Woodbury, and Eden Prairie lead Minnesota for certified athletic trainer openings. The Twin Cities concentrate the largest share of postings because of the density of hospital systems, Division I and Division III college programs, and professional sports franchises headquartered there, while Rochester draws openings through Mayo Clinic's sports medicine and rehabilitation services and Duluth benefits from the University of Minnesota Duluth's athletics programs and regional clinic networks.
Are there remote certified athletic trainer jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. About 5% of certified athletic trainer openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how hands-on the role fundamentally is. The portions most likely to carry remote components are administrative athletic training coordinator roles, telehealth injury triage consultations, and continuing education or compliance positions that do not require direct patient contact.
How can I get hired as a certified athletic trainer in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a post-professional clinical residency or a contracted secondary school athletic training position, both of which are common first placements for new graduates in Minnesota. Large health systems such as Allina Health and M Health Fairview regularly onboard new-grad athletic trainers into outpatient sports medicine clinics where caseloads are supervised. Applying to aide or physical therapy technician roles at those same institutions is a practical lateral move that builds clinical hours while you complete licensure. Having your BOC credential and Minnesota Board of Athletic Training license active before you apply gives you a clear edge over candidates still awaiting results.
Where can I find and apply to certified athletic trainer jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to certified athletic trainer jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings across health systems, school districts, collegiate programs, and sports medicine clinics. Find a role that fits and apply directly.
