MCAD Balcony

MCAD wants to be part of your company’s or organization’s future. By partnering with MCAD, you’re helping prepare the next generation of creative professionals—the future workforce your organization will rely on.

Looking for a product designer, illustrator, video editor, or project manager? MCAD students and alumni are that and so much more!

Hire an Intern

Internships provide valuable experience to prepare students for professional life. Working on-site or remotely, students apply their skills to real projects while learning about the industry, networking, and building their resume and portfolio.

If you are an established professional operation, provide a qualified mentor and relevant work, supply your own resources, meet the location requirements, complete required evaluations, and offer at least 40 hours of paid internship work, you are welcome to post it on Handshake.

(Note: MCAD reserves the right to decline any internship postings based on the Internship Programs Under The Fair Labor Standards Act.)
