FIT Creative Network
Two keys to career success: what you know and who you know.
You’ll have opportunities to experience your chosen field through internships, field trips, sponsored contests, mentorships, and more. You’ll connect with people who matter—industry leaders, job creators, and entrepreneurs looking for the next great graduate: you!
Internships
Roll up your sleeves. Internships are like a dress rehearsal for the career you’re working so hard to have. Internships give you a taste of the real world: an insider’s view of your future field’s habits, culture, and demands. You’ll learn everything from how to do a great job at any job to how to network within a company. FIT’s internships take full advantage of our New York City location and extensive industry ties, so you’ll have access to leading retailers, manufacturers, designers, TV networks, advertising agencies, consumer magazines, and corporations.
