Traineeship

Welcome to the Digital Society School, where you become a conductor and leader of digital transformation and social change rather than a follower.

Grow your skills and develop your full potential. It is hands-on learning at its best, involving practice-based work with a touch of research. You’ll be part of a vibrant interdisciplinary group during a semester and enjoy unique exposure to a network of experts within the field.

You will work in multidisciplinary teams guided by experts from the industry and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. The team is a mix of designers, programmers, social/digital media experts, researchers, copywriters and storytellers.

In 20 weeks (from Feb-Jun or Sep-Jan) your team develops a working prototype in collaboration with the partner. The team will be working 5 days a week in Studio HvA or at the partner’s office. Within the traineeship there will be time allocated for documentation or graduation requirements/thesis work. The traineeship is in English and available to all talented and motivated students, recent graduates of higher education, and professionals seeking to advance their career.

I am interested!

We offer a monthly stipend plus enrollment in the Digital Transformation Intensive Programme (DTIP) at reduced rates. The DTIP includes workshops, master classes and personal coaching to get you ready for the next step in your career. On top of that you’ll be part of the DSS community even after you complete the programne for inspiration and career opportunities.
