Unpaid Internship Program

Unpaid Internship Program

One of the key stages of professional development in construction, architecture, and renovation is gaining direct exposure to real working processes. Our unpaid internship program is designed for students, graduates, and candidates who are new to the industry and wish to determine their future career direction.

The main purpose of the unpaid internship program is to help candidates with no previous professional experience develop a general and practical understanding of the industry. Participants observe the preparation and implementation stages of various projects, learn the working principles of specialists, and complete tasks appropriate to their level of knowledge.

The program is particularly beneficial for students who wish to connect the theoretical knowledge acquired at university with a real professional environment. Participants gain a closer understanding of the terminology, document formats, software, project stages, and distribution of responsibilities used in architecture and construction.

Who Can Apply?

The following candidates may apply for the unpaid internship program:

  • Students studying architecture;

  • Students and graduates in civil engineering;

  • Individuals interested in interior and exterior design;

  • Candidates seeking initial experience in construction and renovation;

  • Individuals learning AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Revit, 3ds Max, and SketchUp;

  • Young architects and designers wishing to build a professional portfolio;

  • Students seeking to determine their future career direction.

Extensive work experience is not required to participate in the program. The main criteria are a willingness to learn, responsibility, attention to detail, regular attendance, and a serious approach to assigned tasks.

Internship Program Areas

Participants may complete their internship in different areas based on their field of study and interests.

Architecture and Design

In this area, participants become familiar with the development of architectural concepts, planning solutions, facades, sections, sketches, detailed designs, and working drawings.

Interns may take part in reviewing existing projects, organising drawings, and preparing simple technical assignments.

Interior Design and Renovation

Participants in the interior design area learn about space measurement, functional zoning, material selection, coordination of colours and textures, furniture placement, and the different stages of renovation work.

Interns may assist with the preparation of design projects, research into material catalogues, and the creation of presentation files.

Construction and Engineering

Participants in the construction area gain initial practical knowledge of foundations, masonry, reinforced-concrete structures, roofing, engineering and utility systems, and finishing works.

Where appropriate and subject to safety requirements, the program may also include organised visits to construction sites. These visits help participants understand more clearly the relationship between project documentation and the work carried out on site.

Knowledge and Skills Participants Will Gain

During the internship program, participants will:

  • Learn the stages of project development;

  • Become familiar with the structure of technical drawings;

  • Understand the sequence of construction and renovation processes;

  • Observe coordination between architects, engineers, designers, and implementation teams;

  • Improve their skills in using professional software;

  • Gain experience in planning and presenting tasks;

  • Strengthen their communication and professional ethics within a team;

  • Acquire practical experience for their future portfolio and CV.

As part of the program, participants receive guidance from a mentor or designated specialist. Completed tasks are regularly reviewed, and recommendations are provided to support further development.

Program Duration and Schedule

The duration of the unpaid internship program is determined according to the selected area and the company’s current projects. The work schedule is agreed upon in advance, and participants’ university timetables may be taken into consideration.

Regular attendance, discipline, and timely completion of assignments are essential for the effective completion of the program. Participants are expected to remain active throughout the internship, ask questions, make observations, and apply what they have learned.

Benefits of the Internship Program

The unpaid internship program gives participants the opportunity to become familiar with a real company environment, establish professional connections, and determine their future career direction.

Participants who successfully complete the program may receive a certificate confirming their participation or a letter of recommendation. Candidates who demonstrate strong performance may be considered for future paid internship programs and available vacancies.

For our company, the internship program is a mutual learning platform that helps identify the potential of young professionals and supports the development of their knowledge and skills.

Candidates who wish to gain first-hand insight into the working processes of architecture, construction, and renovation, acquire practical knowledge, and take their first step towards a professional career are welcome to apply.

To apply, candidates must submit their CV, contact details, field of study, and a portfolio, where available.
