❓Why is the creative industry lacking young talents? ❗️Let’s have a look at my 15 year old sister‘s experience to understand why this problem is caused by the agencies themselves and not necessarily Gen Z. 🫶 On the picture you see my sister Hannah who is an aspiring Art Director. As part of her 10th grade in school she was doing an internship to gather first insights into her desired profession. 🫸 She designed a beautiful application and sent it to 10 agencies with offices in Berlin. Here are the stats of the replies she got: 5/10 do not offer school internships 2/10 didn’t even reply 1/10 didn’t have capacity for an intern 2/10 did offer her the internship 🤬 If this is the experience young talent encounters when they are actually interested to work in this industry, I’m not surprised they will not apply to agencies once they are looking for their first real job! I assume due to two main reasons: 1) After experiencing this amount of disinterest why would you believe agencies are actually interested to develop your capabilities and talent? 2) As most interns get rejected from agencies, they are looking into other industries and find a way to utilize their capabilities outside of the world of creative services. 🫵 So I feel that we, the creative companies, have to change our perception of investing in young talent. It is the future of our success and we all need new generations to power our creative output. In fact we surely also need to closely look at our business models as well, so we have the capacity to offer young talent the opportunity to enter this wonderful world of creativity. And we have to constantly remind our clients that a world changing idea can come from everybody in the team. Even a young talent with zero experience! 🫀Because without new generations, change inevidently will be very, very hard to achieve. And as #DavidOgilvy said rightly: „Change is our lifeblood“. 🫶Gladly there are positive rolemodels in our industry and Hannah was given the opportunity to learn and work alongside an incredible team at Philipp und Keuntje GmbH. From the first day she was over the moon, learned so much, was inspired, empowered and had a feeling of real belonging. ♥️Therefore a huge shoutout to fischerAppelt for building a company culture that let‘s people thrive and of course to Felix Wetzel, who mentored Hannah in her internship. You really made a difference in a career. And ultimately I’m incredibly proud of my sister, who fearlessly left her comfort zone far away from her home, connected with new people and learned that personal development is achieved by the pursuit of exploring the unknown. Well done Hannah! 👩🏻💻🙏

great internship opportunity in Seattle area

Attn. Vassar College students! Check out these terrific summer internships at the Brooklyn Musem that Vassar alum & SCC mentor, Michael Reback, just posted!

Last year vs. now ♥️ One year ago, I operated my company alone. However, during the past few weeks, we have been a team of five individuals, working extensively alongside each other in my small Aarhus showroom; one fashion designer/seamstress, three fashion design interns, and myself. Observing the profound changes that can unfold within a mere year is truly astounding. 🙌🏻 The past 12 months; A total of 10 interns have either completed or are currently engaged in an internship with us/Rosa Faizzad Collections. Having the chance to share my knowledge, experience, and provide support is truly a rewarding opportunity. It allows me to see individuals improve their qualifications, build confidence, and grow as well-rounded individuals, which brings a unique sense of fulfillment. There's no doubt that their hard work and contributions have been vital in bringing our brand to its current position, as they’ve all played an important role in driving positive change.🙏🏻 Therefore, both past and present interns hold a special place as cherished members of our brand family. They understand that regardless of their future paths after they conclude their internships with us and are sent off into the world, that they will forever remain a part of our brand family and our door will forever remain open for them ♥️ Nonetheless, as our team expands, responsibilities grow. As a result, I am currently (also) working on improving my leadership -, team management, and communication skills in my quest to evolve into an even better leader for our team and company. Just one of the many important aspects of entrepreneurship. ☺️ Cause one thing life has taught me is that valuing, expressing genuine love and appreciation for my team and all those who contribute is just as important to me as serving my amazing clients. ♥️ With maximum gratitude ROSA FAIZZAD

My first internship was at 16, as a content writing intern at a startup called Znappin. At 17, I interned in fashion styling at an agency called Purple Thoughts, followed by another fashion styling internship with a renowned stylist duo, and one more at GQ.(GQ Magazine) By 18, I was a graphic design intern at a startup called Wunderphul. At 19… well, I don’t want to bore you with the details of all 13 internships or my life in the corporate world. What I want to emphasize is this: work every chance you get.  Experience trumps any theoretical skill you learn. Even if you don’t excel at first, putting yourself out there and attempting to learn is the biggest favour you can do for yourself. #leadership #entrepreneurship #hiring #digitalmarketing #learning #growthmindset
