This unique summer mentorship program introduces high school students to careers in the design profession. AIGA, the Private Industry Council of Mayor Menino’s office (PIC) and partnering schools in the Boston Public School system collaborate on this program to provide creative work opportunities to you—motivated young people—enabling you to work in a variety of design workplaces and create inroads to long term careers in Boston’s vibrant design industry.
Mentors at your host studio will teach you specific skills and give you work experience and broad exposure to educational and career opportunities in design. In addition to work-related responsibilities, you will be encouraged to produce a personal project such as a resumé for your future career development and you will participate in our annual Time to Design Competition. You will also be invited to attend design exhibits, conferences and other professional development programs during the summer.
