International Internships in Interior Design

Interior design interns work in interior design firms, architecture firms, property development, and construction companies. Interns assist interior designers and design teams with various stages of the design process. This may include capturing client requirements for budget, use, and function of a space. Interns may use the requirements along with building codes, structural constraints, climate and lighting considerations, as well as other factors, to create a new aesthetic and effective solution for the space. Past interns have also been involved in product research, sample and library management, sourcing and scanning images for mood boards, recording measurements, photographing spaces, and contacting suppliers.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON A INTERIOR DESIGN INTERNSHIP

International influences are inextricably woven into the fabric of what is considered contemporary design. From the materials and textiles to the patterns, shapes and spatial constructs a designer employs, interior design borrows, shares and builds off of ideas emanating from places around the globe. Gaining international experience in interior design can be a smart career move to be sure.

Creativity and a keen eye for aesthetics, while important, represent only part of successful interior designer’s palette of skills. Working with clients, architects, contractors, as well as a host of stakeholders, requires excellent listening and communication skills. Good designers are translators, forming a cohesive and clear plan based on notions, ideas and feelings.

HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS

  • Prove your dedication to the field of interior design
  • Learn about the profession in a culturally-immersive setting
  • Sharpen communication skills
  • Build and utilize your creativity through work on diverse design projects

Intern Abroad FAQs

Where will I intern?

While some organizations have a list of open internships and place applicants in those positions, we work in the opposite direction. We first learn about you, your interests, goals and experience, and then actively pursue the internship that provides you with experience directly relevant to your future career. 

What will I be doing at my internship?

Our internships are customized to fit each individual’s goals, interests, and skill level. We consider all of these things and then make a placement accordingly. Therefore, we don’t have specific internships “set aside” waiting for people to fill them. We have placed interns in both small and large companies, but due to confidentiality of our host companies and organizations we are not able to provide a list of companies.

If I am accepted into the program, am I guaranteed an internship?

We are confident in our ability to find impactful,  skill-building internships. If you are accepted into our program, we guarantee that we will find you a placement in your first or second choice field.

Do I need to have experience?

We arrange rewarding internship placements for people with all levels of experience. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an expert in your field, a successful experience requires a positive approach and a mind open to learning, growing and strengthening your skills.

Are the internships paid?

We really wish we could offer paid internships, but all of the internships we coordinate are unpaid placements. Paid internships abroad are few and far-between, as they require a different type of visa that is difficult to attain, and they also require sponsorship by the host company, which is quite costly for them. The goal of our program is to provide meaningful, hands-on experience in your specific profession or field of study that will give you a competitive edge in the job market and make you valuable to employers who are globally minded. If you are seeking a placement to help you gain international experience, improve your skills in your field and enhance your resume, our program provides the perfect opportunity.

What companies do you work with?

Our internships are customized to fit each individual’s goals, interests, and skill level. We consider all of these things and then make a placement accordingly. Therefore, we don’t have specific internships “set aside” waiting for people to fill them. We have placed interns in both small and large companies, but due to confidentiality of our host companies and organizations we are not able to provide a list of companies.

Is there a cost to particiate?

We strive to provide immersive, life changing, and professionally rewarding programs for our interns. Our programs are designed as a comprehensive “program” instead of just the internship so that we can provide a full experience for our participants. The program fees we charge include the in-country expenses (housing, insurance, orientation, etc.) and also the dedicated work that goes behind finding a customized, one-of-a-kind, international internship placement.
