THE INTERN EXPERIENCE
The Voice of Interns: Creating Design Leaders of the Future
Every day at SmithGroup we work to design a better future. Our internship program brings that promise to life by creating pathways and opportunities for students to become the future leaders of our industry. Learn what our latest intern class had to say about their experience at SmithGroup.
The coolest and most interesting thing that I have experienced during my internship at SmithGroup has been a sense of community and togetherness. Eating lunch with principals in office made me feel like a part of the family and not only an intern.
