Summer Internship 2022
Branding and New Media

This programme is only open to students living in Taiwan.

This programme aims to provide young designers with hands-on industry experience, targeting design students and young professionals under the age of 25. During the summer, participants will rotate between two organisations within their selected track, spending one month at each. The programme offers training and hands-on involvement in branding design or new media teams, exposing participants to diverse methodologies and working environments.

Participants are required to attend biweekly group study sessions to share insights with peers from other tracks and will conclude the programme by presenting their outcomes in a public lecture. All proceeds from the lecture will be allocated to the speakers.
