ANNOUNCING THE HIGHLY COVETED SUMMER INTERNSHIPS AT GRAPHITE LAB!

Graphite Lab is reviewing candidates for summer 2014 internships! The program runs from May 12 – August 15th. General hours on site are from 10AM – 4PM Monday through Friday, but will be negotiated around school schedules.

We’re offering 2 ART spots, 1 PROGRAMMING, 1 GAME DESIGN, and 1 WEB DEVELOPMENT internship.

Because of the nature of what we do, there is a ton of education that goes into each GLI intern, as such GLI internships are unpaid. However, Selected candidates will get to contribute to real game and web development projects for variety of clients both large and small as well as contribute to an original idea crafted by the intern class of 2014. For a glimpse of what it’s like as an intern at Graphite Lab, you can take a look at the video below which was commissioned by Maryville University and features some testimonials from some of our intern alumni.
