Create a Better World Through the Power of Design

We believe the key to building a diverse emerging talent pipeline begins with early exposure to the design profession through meaningful internship experiences. Creating intentional opportunities for students to achieve and realize their full potential and providing access to skills, knowledge, experience, and mentorship will have a positive and lasting impact on our firm and industry.

Each year, Gensler’s intern class represents the best emerging talent from more than 60 schools around the world. Internships in each of our offices provide unique hands-on experience in real projects, working side-by-side with our design teams and clients. In fact, Gensler has hosted more than 3,500 internships, developing a growing network of future designers.

This year, we will be offering two internship opportunities: the traditional Gensler Internship, hosted in various offices across our firm, and the Gensler Summer Fellowship, a research-focused intensive for upper-level students aimed at unlocking innovative solutions and addressing challenges as we seek to redefine the future of cities.

We are looking for bold and bright students to join us in moving this important work forward.
