Career Planning

Interior Design Careers

Interior Designers Institute offers job placement services for A.A. and B.A. students. A natural transition from the college classroom to the workplace is the Institute's Internship Program for B.A. students, which gives them the opportunity to learn from leading designers while pursuing their studies. These students have actual experience working one-to-one with clients. This is a real advantage when entering the interior design field upon graduation.

The Institute will do all it can to help you find a job that best suits your particular needs and talents. However, like other colleges and universities, although we provide thorough training and a job placement assistance program, we cannot guarantee employment.
