Button 2025: The Virtual Content Design Conference

While content design is an increasingly vital discipline for organizations, it remains an emerging field that lacks the “traditional path” found in more established areas like UX design. This leaves entry-level content designers at a disadvantage when it comes to gaining hands-on experience and building portfolios.

Early career development initiatives, such as internships, can close the gap by creating a clearer pathway for junior professionals. You can pioneer the future of content design within your organization by building an internship program! Whether you’re experienced in mentorship or new to the role, you’ll gain valuable insights on career development, nurturing new talent, and contributing to the future of content design.

In this talk, you’ll learn how to:

• Craft an impactful internship program.
• Build a recruitment pipeline.
• Set interns up for success in your organization.
• Prepare interns for future career prospects.
