This programme is only open to students living in Taiwan.

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

Aiming to establish an inspiring and collaborative community, Taipei Art Direction and Design Association (TPadd assoc.) provides a platform for designers to explore the form of Taiwanese art directing. Instead of a position, we take art directing as a core essence that facilitates the implementation of aesthetics in various creative-based industries (e.g. business running, curating, editing). Through issue discussions and project practices, TPadd assoc. is committed to provoking the creative intention of the general public, researching the elevation of identities and traditional concepts, and assisting various industries to contemporize.
