Prepare for Your Career in the Industry

It's critical to focus on "getting a job," but your year at VFS is really about laying the foundation for a long, infinitely rewarding career doing the thing you love most. You were born for this.

Career preparation is a part of the very fabric of the program. Whether it's visiting top agencies, learning from pros, exploring the business, law, and ethics of design, or working closely with industry mentors, Digital Design is committed to getting you ready for your professional life. By graduation, you will have turned everything you've learned into a pitch-perfect portfolio and a personal brand that ensures you stand out from the crowd as you launch your career.

Experience Agency Life

As part of this commitment to students' professional careers, Digital Design has built relationships with an extensive network of top agencies – this means you will have the chance to see inside the professional environments in which you could one day be working. Coming face to face with the people and places that make the industry tick means you're able to get real insight into its day-to-day operations. That's insider's knowledge you will leverage as you choose your electives and plan your career.

Develop a Winning Portfolio

Digital Design is career boot camp. Truly succeeding as a designer means bringing all of your conceptual, aesthetic, and technical knowledge together with your accomplishments and – most of all – your creative personality. To do that, you'll need a professional resume and cover letters, hours upon hours of interview preparation, and a killer portfolio calibrated to perfectly portray you as the industry-ready designer you are.
