One program. One unforgettable experience.

The LEGO DESiGN Internship Program is a shared journey. From your first day in Billund, you will join a dedicated onboarding experience, be supported by a mentor and become part of an international community of design interns learning alongside one another.

You will be trusted to bring your point of view, encouraged to experiment and given space to grow your craft through real creative work. This is a chance to stretch yourself, build work you are proud of and create relationships that can continue well beyond the internship.

You will share accommodation with fellow design interns, making everyday life in Billund part of the adventure.
