Creative studios: why host an intern?
Welcoming an intern to your creative studio does more than offer them their first professional experience.
It’s a unique opportunity to invest in tomorrow’s talent and actively contribute to their development. By sharing your knowledge and involving these students in your projects, you play a key role in their development and specialization.
More than 20 studios have already found motivated and talented interns in previous editions, including 3dverse technologies, Carcajou, DPT, Folklore Games and Hybride-Ubisoft.
By integrating an intern, you benefit from a fresh look at your creative processes and stimulate innovation within your team.
In return, you provide students with an incomparable opportunity to build their professional future.
Students: why participate in the internship program?
Doing an internship can be very revealing for your future career path.
It’s an excellent opportunity to get a student job, develop your skills, take part in stimulating projects and gain initial work experience.
For students on internships with an academic agreement, this experience often extends to writing an internship report. An essential exercise that helps you structure your learning.
