Program Details:

The AIGA Orlando Mentorship Program pairs the most passionate design students with leading industry professionals to help refine their skills and prepare them for a career in a creative field. As a mentee in the program, you will be exposed to informative workshops and collaborative work sessions to enhance your personal brand and networking skills. Throughout the program, you will develop connections and relationships which are invaluable and can extend well beyond the program. As a mentor, you'll impart your skills and years of experience to make a lasting impact on the next generation of creative professionals.

Our mentorship program is a unique opportunity that has been established to enrich a culture of professionalism and endless creativity in the city of Orlando. Mentors and mentees will be thoughtfully paired by our chapter board members following the application submission period.

The program kicks off annually in January 2024 with orientation. Starting from day one, successful entrants will begin working diligently with their mentors and continue to do so for the next 4 months. Each mentee is challenged with creating a campaign project to be displayed in the annual SPOT Award Showcase in April 2024.
