Creative Internships in Melbourne & Sydney with ABI

my internship experience through Artbound Initiative couldn't have been more perfect! The Artbound team were very helpful from the start, even before I decided to sign up with them. They answered all my questions and were quick to respond despite being contacted outside office hours (due to the time difference). They matched me with international interview and resume coaches and shaped me to become a better candidate, in the end I got a job out of my internship program thanks to their help. (internship was done at Pitch Agency in Melbourne, Australia)

This experience was great in helping me take my first step into the industry and get some hands-on experience working on professional projects while building up my portfolio. Everyone at the company was super nice and welcoming and it was a great work environment. I was able to use my skills in storyboarding, animating, and illustrating and contribute to a variety of projects ranging from creating animations for social media to TV commercials, for a range of clients including local restaurants and international companies.

I had a placement in a small production business which allows experiencing every step of the production process, I think for a media industry beginner I'm very grateful to have such valuable mentorship.
ABI as the mentoring agency is also very responsible, their service includes building my portfolio and resume and interview preparation will definitely help with any of my future internships.
And I really looking forward to joining in any other activities and having more collaboration with them.

This was an amazing experience that taught me extra skills in my field of writing. I had the chance to research several topics and get better at developing soft skills such as time management and communication. My research skills have improved greatly as well. As a content writing intern, i had the amazing opportunity to experience what the industry is like so now i feel well equipped to enter the professional field as i now know what to expect and i have got the required skills under my belt. The entire ArtBound team including Laura, Zulfa and Ginda has been so helpful throughout the process. I had the most fruitful 5 months doing my internship with Blank Theory.

The ABI prepares you phenomenally for the internship that you do. The learning modules were short and were straight to the point and will provide you with perfect insights about your industry. It guarantees you an internship that won't be just grabbing coffee for the boss but one that is highly hands on. I chose to do my internship online and was made to feel completely comfortable with this choice. I highly recommend the ABI to any student looking for professional development and hands on experience.

It's good to be part of this program because it will put you in a world where everyone are creative in their own unique ways. Your network will expand, and you will find inspirational people who do their best to be the best. The list of companies are quite broad too, so you will have lots of choices. It is also helpful to know as many companies as possible so you can widen your list of potential working place in the future. The ABI Program is very hands-on, so they will make sure that the company you are working with are really giving you the right internship experience for your target career.

It was a fantastic program. Although the overall tempestuous nature of the year with lockdown meant not all the features and amenities were available, this program was still one of the best things I’ve done. Everyone was lovely And super helpful. The team was great and was always willing and able to answer any questions and provide help about working in another city. Overall, this program is a must for all creative students. I met people here and learned skills I know with be invaluable for years to come and will further me in my career and personal life.

Artbound gave me such an incredible opportunity to grow and branch out within Sydney, their training and meetings to develop and better my resumes and portfolios are invaluable for me and the future. Without the help and guidance of ABI, I would never have been able to have this amazing opportunity and I would have never met such amazing, like minded people who share the same drive and creative passions as me. I have grown not only my social network but my industry network. I would recommend ArtBound_Initiative.
