Issue 70 - Season of Internships

Exploring the dynamics of paid and unpaid internships in the creative industry, this issue looks at what truly makes an internship valuable. It brings together perspectives from students, design colleges, and studios to understand expectations, learning experiences, and real challenges.

It reflects on how colleges prepare students for industry exposure, how studios balance mentorship with productivity, and what students actually gain during their internships.

Are paid internships always better, or do unpaid ones offer different kinds of learning? By looking at these questions closely, it aims to present a more honest and practical understanding of internships today - focusing on growth, experience, and real-world readiness.
