Interior Design Careers
Interior Designers Institute offers job placement services for Certificate, A.A., B.A. and M.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.
