See What Our Interns Have to Say…
Temple SBDC Creative Department Interns Succeed!
“As a recent graduate from the Art Institute of Philadelphia, I entered the work force heavy on design skills and design software knowledge, but lacked the business and marketing experience relevant to all careers. The Temple SBDC Creative Department opened doors I never knew existed. The experiences and knowledge gained at the SBDC Creative Department will stick with me forever. I definitely recommend that students open their doors to this real world experience!”

I highly recommend that students who wish to further their career in advertising, design or marketing intern at the SBDC.”
