At a time when many industry internship programs were canceled due to the pandemic, The One Club extended its commitment to helping the next generation of diverse creatives enter the industry by transforming its in-person, multi-city Intern & Creative networking events into this new ongoing global online initiative.
“The pandemic made it extremely difficult for young creatives to get their foot in the door,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club. “We transformed this program to help agencies and brands continue to provide valuable mentorship to the next generation of creative talent, and get them first-look at young people they might want to hire.”
