Ever wish there was an internship that really challenged you? Where a semester “in the field” is worth a year in the classroom? Built for students like you who are driven to exceed expectations? Then I encourage you to apply for our advanced internship program. It’s not for everyone – but then that’s what you were hoping, right?

 

Company Overview
In The Round Design Group, based in Canton, Ohio, integrates the creative arts and the latest technologies to design innovative and effective communication tools.

 

In The Round’s five design groups, Systems, Print, Online, Studio, and Multimedia, work with organizations in all facets of the communication process – from message development to creative design to technical delivery.

Internship Program Overview
In The Round offers an intense, year-round internship program for advanced students in a dynamic production environment. Internships emphasize experiential, hands-on learning complemented by a staff mentor. Interns work in one or more of the design group teams along-side staff and are fully involved in the execution of client projects and meeting deadlines.

Internship candidates must show a high level of initiative, flexibility, and responsibility as well as potential for growth and working autonomously.

Because of the fast-paced nature of the advanced internship, candidates must meet minimum skills requirements. Students who do not meet these requirements may want to consider our introductory internships.

Duration and work schedule
All internships last at least one semester with preference given to applicants able to stay two or more semesters. Candidates must be available a minimum number of hours per week, but schedules are flexible. Some evening and weekend hours may be required. Interns must have their own dependable transportation.
