Interns

The Arise ground-team has worked with youth in the Kosovo community since moving to Kampala in February of 2016. Over the years, Arise has taught web design skills, and even helped create a media business called Era92. Today, Era92 is not only a thriving business, but it is giving back to the community by teaching other youth media skills. Through the Era92 Elevate program, youth train for 6 months with design and media professionals and then leverage these new skills to create self-employment.

Design is a technical discipline that can take many years to understand and become practiced at. While Elevate graduates have been reasonably well prepared to begin seeking work, they still have a limited scope of understanding. Most Elevate designers also have little or no real-world experience.

Arise helps freshman design graduates by providing internship positions. By employing Elevate media interns, Arise helps young designers gain experience and a solid real-world reference for their work. At the same time, Arise is able to develop a steady stream of designed work for social communications.
