Internship Opportunities
Hipstitch has a range of internship opportunities with a special focus on business / marketing, education, or fashion design.
We are also happy to work with applicants who are interested in a different focal area. If you are interested in a different focal area, please reach out and tell us what that area is, and how you think Hipstitch can facilitate your study in that area.
Each internship opportunity will have a focal area which corresponds with the interns educational goals. Interns will also assist in the daily running of our studio which will include activities such as: preparing projects, instructing students at our classes and camps, creating and testing prototypes for kid appropriate projects as well as clothing patterns for children and adults.
We have internship opportunities available for the fall, winter, spring, and summer with flexible start and end dates. Schedule will be determined prior to the start of the internship based on the intern’s course schedule and/or prior commitments.
Some educational institutions require prior approval before the start of an internship. It is the responsibility of the student to check with their institution to be sure they meet any requirements before they accept a position.
Interns will be expected to commit to at least 5-7 hours per week with the possibility of occasional evening or weekend hours.
Interns who successfully complete the program may request a letter of recommendation, may receive an offer for future employment with Hipstitch, and/or may receive internship credit from their college/university.
