This is a limited attendance, Members-Only event for both the interns and the employers. The number of internships depends on the number of registering companies. Student/Recent grad participation does not guarantee an internship.
You've been asking for it, so here it is. AIGA Atlanta and Creative Know-Who are going to help pilot a 6-week Summer Internship program lasting July 9th - August 17th and a shorter duration, project-based mentorship program. Come for this informational kick-off and preliminary meet/greet.
Internship interviews will take place June 18th-22nd with selection notification by June 29th. Employers may choose to extend internships beyond August 17th at no additional cost. Profits from this event will fund Student Membership scholarships.
Who should attend on June 14th? Studio Owners, Creative Directors, and Design Managers interested in hosting an intern this summer and upper-class/graduate-level students and recent grads in search of an internship opportunity. Attendance at this event is required to participate in the internship program for both the employer and the intern.
