WRT is seeking enthusiastic and skilled students to join our interdisciplinary team as summer interns!
WRT's interns are exposed to a wide variety of projects. Here is intern Zuzanna Drodz (left) speaking with the community about the FDR Park Master Plan.
About the Program
WRT's 10- to 12-week paid internship is designed to engage undergraduate or graduate students in architecture, landscape architecture, city planning and urban design, working alongside and learning from a talented and diverse interdisciplinary team of planning and design professionals. The recommended window for the program is between May 20 and August 16, but these dates can range on a case-by-case basis.
Objectives
Throughout the summer, there will be on-going opportunities to participate on project teams, exposing you to a variety of WRT projects, as well as our proposals, promotional work, and award submissions.
In addition to project work, the program is designed to provide social, networking and educational opportunities, including field trips, job-site and construction visits, lunch and learns, vendor presentations, and volunteer opportunities.
A final presentation will be made in the last week of the internship. In this presentation, we would love for you to talk about your internship, what you learned over the summer, and showcase some of your work!
