I am Prof. Jonathan Mputu, Esq., a private California NBA Player Attorney, former WME Executive, Sports Law Adjunct Professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law and Entertainment Executive, and I’ve partnered with TMFE Group, LLC & Job Bee Academy to teach a six-week, one-hour, pre-recorded online course focused on bringing students from across the country more access to the Sports and Entertainment Industry. The course starts September 6th, 2023, and is followed by a free resume workshop, mock interviews, & networking event with industry professionals on October 14th, 2023.
This is our second rendition of this course and we are back stronger and better with a new corporate partner, Job Bee Academy, who has provided services for over 25,000 individuals and for entertainment companies such as Tyler Perry Studios, Amazon and Usher’s New Look.
The course, “How to Break Into the Sports and Entertainment Industry”, is based off of an extended version of a law school course Thomas Jefferson School of Law, CALS 616, Sports Agent Registration and Practice. The course dives into the following categories:
- Week 1: What is the Sports and Entertainment Industry?
- Week 2: Who are the big players and what type of jobs are in the industry?
- Week 3: What is Networking/ and how do you build relationships?
- Week 4: Where can you find Internships and how do you separate yourself as a candidate?
- Week 5: What are Organizations and which ones should you join?
- Week 6: What are vital resources that I can use now to prepare for day 1 on the job?
- Week 7: Resume Workshop, Interview Workshop, & Industry Networking Event
As the start date is fast approaching, TMFE Group is currently offering the following discounts, in addition to payment plan options, to students all over the country:

This online course uses the Teachable.com platform.
This is perfect for students looking to snag a last-minute fall internship or prepare for spring or summer. After interning in law school at Athletes First Football Agency, LA Clippers, and MVP Sports Group baseball agency, and after 5 more years as a Business Affairs Executive at Endeavor working for both WME and IMG, I am extremely excited at the opportunity to develop this course with TMFE Group to give back to the students.
