A graphic design apprenticeship involves gaining experience as a graphic designer by training alongside professional designers. Your duties as an intern can vary from program to program. Your responsibilities typically involve assisting in the creation of visual materials for marketing, education, communication, or other purposes. In an agency setting, you work under the supervision of a senior designer, an art director, or a creative director. During your apprenticeship, you may create images manually, but most internships also involve using programs like CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator. This may be a required part of your degree program, but internship programs also exist for recent graduates.
