Intern Here
We have long run a successful internship scheme throughout the year, allowing recent graduates to experience what it's like to work Here, providing them with industry experience and the potential for a hire.
The internships are 8-12 weeks long and they get the opportunity to work on live projects in the studio as well as working on a branding brief set by the team, which they share during their last week.
For 2025, we are taking a new approach that follows the Here Year. Our tried and tested internship scheme will continue to run through the Summer months, but Spring will now be focused on inviting young people into the studio for talks and tours – to introduce them to the creative industry and all the possibilities within it. Autumn will be a time for new talent to attend Portfolio Review evenings at our East London Studio and during Winter we will host an open internship – giving someone without a university degree the chance to work with and be mentored by every department within the studio.
