Are you sick of not hearing from “internships”, getting coffee, doing small tasks, and not getting hands-on experience? Join Dim University; a free portfolio school focused on getting you the hands-on experience YOU want!

By the end of the program, you will have connected with people in your industry, built relationships, and created a strong portfolio to secure THE JOB YOU WANT! 


 

Common Questions: 

  • Even though this is a portfolio school; can I still get credit? Most likely yes, check with your supervisor at your institution 
  • Will I get hands-on experience? We are able to provide our students with hands-on experience because everything we create is to give back to future and current students in the community. Who better to create, inspire, and facilitate experiences than other students of life. 
  • How do I meet people in my dream career? By attending our career panels, workshops, and watching our content online. 
  • Is this a school or an internship? We technically do not consider our program an internship, but it provides similar and/or more experience than your average studentship. 

Do you want to capture the true essence of a person, product, or group, in a moment? While being able to Actually use the work for your portfolio? Each program becomes a mini agency of students from all across the world (We have a hybrid program where remote students gain just as much experience as those students in the Chicagoland area) and all different skills come together to strategize and work on projects, that build Dim and client brands.
