I had an opportunity to chat with Liz Truong – Studio Manager and Creative Director at Change Boutique here in Madison about the Intern Program offered by the local fair trade shop. Currently there are 4 student interns with concentrations in Textile Design, Fashion Design and Retail/Merchandising, the internship lasts one semester with an option to extend to a second if needed. The dedicated interns log 12-15 hours per week in the studio on top of any course load and other jobs they may hold.
