ICON Worldwide

The chance to spend three months in Switzerland was one I could not pass up. The marketing firm ICON Worldwide has a few interns at a time to do their design work. It was a great experience working on real client jobs and the scenery could not be beat! You work long, hard days Monday through Friday but are granted your weekends off to explore Europe. Jon and Lori, the bosses, are very helpful when it comes to setting up travel ideas and plans. The work at times can be very production intensive but that really helps sharpen your Adobe skills. It's real world experience and you're in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. You stay a short train ride away at a small hotel above a pizzeria. It kind of feels like dorm life as you become close with the other interns who are just down the hall.
