It’s good to see you all again today. We’re joined by 289 new readers this week making our community 19626 people large. We hope you have a good time with this reading journey.
On that note, did you have an amazing weekend? We at Material Depot have been feeling nostalgic these days. Conversations about a younger and much forgiving time have been bouncing off our office walls frequently. With multiple architects in our group, we couldn’t help but reminisce about our internship days.
Internships are definitely one of the most fun and fruitful parts of design school. Anyone who has studied design in India knows the influence an internship ca make on a student’s personal and professional life. There are things we often wish we knew then that could have made the whole experience more meaningful. We are sharing three lessons that stood out to us that you can share with your interns as well.
- To learn not just to manage a project, but how a firm works. With many different personalities and thought-houses in a single firm, management of ideas and plans can be one the most crucial skills that one can have. As future designers and managers, this skill can come into handy.
- To speak up when something wasn’t understandable and to keep ears open all the time. In an office, there will be many conversations and discussions that one can note that can prove helpful in the future.
- To skip the longer route to doing something. There are so many tools and devices developed for our ease. Embrace them. Like how we have Material Depot for Studios and 24 hour get-a-quote feature, one can save a lot of time and energy avoiding supplier hopping.
There are always more tips and advice that you can pass on to your interns, but we’ll keep it short here. If you have more tips you can always add to the article by commenting. Now that we’ve covered the topic, let’s start with our regular newsletter columns.
