Benefits for students

Benefits for collaborators

1. New ideas and fresh perspectives
   Student interns enthusiastically engage in new projects and are eager to apply their creativity and knowledge to work tasks. In addition, as they are young and new to the workplace, they bring fresh perspectives.
   
   
2. Additional resources for your high-to-medium-priority projectsOur students are enthusiastic designers who could supplement your existing workforce at reasonable costs.  Training allowances can be paid at the discretion of the host organisation, and the costs of hiring interns are generally much lower than the costs of hiring additional full-time employees.
   
   
3. Access to young design talents who could become your employeesMany organisations hire interns as full-time employees after they graduate. Organisations can observe how interns interact with their teams and thus determine interns’ suitability to be full-time employees. In addition, organisations’ permanent staff hone their leadership and management skills by guiding interns. Thus, the involvement of organisations is important for the development of our next generation of designers.
