Employer Internship Agreement

Practicing designers are educators in the design learning process. The internship experience facilitates learning by doing. In order for learners to advance their thinking, knowledge, and skills, employers must be actively engaged in the learning process.

Employers involved in the internship program must agree to the following:

1. The student must be supervised by a designer involved in visual design (this includes branding, graphic, interaction, environmental, service or product design, as long as the production of visual design is a significant component of this work).
2. The internship should total at least 180 hours of on-site work. For example, at least twenty hours per week for two continuous months (nine weeks) would equal 3 credit hours.
3. The work should take place on site, not in a freelance capacity.
4. Although we realize that in many instances the student may do production work, we feel it is important that some design work be produced by the student.
5. In most situations compensation for the student’s work is appropriate and warranted.
6. The employer must be willing to state in writing at the beginning of the internship, the student’s responsibilities and schedule, and evaluate the student’s performance twice during the experience.
