The MLB on Deck Diversity in Sales program is designed to provide participants a jump-start in their sales careers through a series of training sessions and consideration for entry-level sales opportunities across Major League Baseball (MLB) and Minor League Baseball (MiLB) entities. With a focus on attracting well-qualified applicants, MLB aims to place individuals who successfully complete this program directly into hiring pipelines with clubs.

Participants will take part in an eight-week-long program learning the basic tools, knowledge and understanding of the ticket sales world, giving them a distinct advantage in the interview process for entry-level sales positions. Participants will attend weekly virtual training sessions led by members of the MLB Ticketing Department in addition to sales executives from across MLB. By the conclusion of the program, participants will be placed in the pipeline for all MLB and MiLB Clubs to access and engage with when looking to fill new entry-level sales positions.

To date, nearly 200 students have completed the MLB On Deck Program since its inception in Summer 2021. Graduates of the program have secured positions with 26 MLB clubs, as well as other teams and companies in different sectors of the sports industry.

The application for the next cohort of MLB on Deck will open in Fall of 2025. If you have any questions, please contact ondeck@mlb.com.
