ECT Internship Program

When I first got to NYU, I was afraid to reach out to faculty or admin for help, and I was not confident in my experience. But Chrissy listened to me and encouraged me throughout the application process.

I like my internship, and it's been really interesting to work with a dev team so that I can learn beyond just the design itself. When I started interviewing for full-time UX jobs, all of my interviewers were interested about my internship work... being able to answer their questions based on my actual experience makes me feel like a professional designer! 

I was part of a team building a platform for high school students to learn neuroscience. I'm learning a lot of stuff from there, and it just feels like everyone's trying to teach me what they know, rather than only telling you to do things. One of my supervisors is focusing on development, and I learned a lot about technical development from him!

I applied to Berlitz since I liked language learning, but I wanted more experience with learning design. My internship widened my toolkit, and it was very helpful in landing my next internship outside of ECT afterwards. I’m so fortunate that our program has the ECT internship program.
