DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT,
Here’s what a few of our past interns are saying...
"My time with Rogers has been fantastic, and the Creative Lab team has been amazing. They'd gotten me involved with many different projects that worked with my skillset, even outside design. Everyone was supportive and actively contacted me/got me involved with projects every day, which I appreciated, especially with how strange things have been with everything happening online. I enjoyed the projects because they were both challenging and fun, and I always knew the team would help me out with any questions that came up. Honestly, my time here has taught me an incredible amount!"
"I think the main thing I'll take away from this is how a design business is run. For example, how work is processed throughout all the team members. Another big thing was understanding how the designers think as they work and what their work process is like when spending time with each of them. I enjoyed seeing the motion side of things, and that was something I won't forget. It was so inspiring to me, but overall, I love SN and mainly the team. I love everyone I've worked with and honestly hope to continue my stay in the future."
"I want to thank everyone for the most amazing internship I could have imagined. Working at Sportsnet has been a dream of mine, and I'm beyond thankful for the opportunity to pick the brains of some of the brightest people in the industry. I know when all this madness settles down, I will reach out to see how I can continue to be involved. I appreciate the time each of you has taken to ensure my internship is as valuable as possible. I'll follow up soon. In the meantime, wishing you and your family's safety and health during this time."
Sounds pretty awesome, right?
