About The Position

Apprentices contribute to and collaborate with project teams, learn new skills from across disciplines, and build valuable professional connections. The goal of every Apprentice at Proto is to learn by doing, with support and guidance from experienced practitioners. We desire to influence their craft and development beyond the apprenticeship at Proto and in turn, receive inspiration from them to continuously evolve our own approaches and ways of working here.

As an early developing creative professional, their superpower is unstoppable curiosity. Like a sponge, they soak it all up. They read the articles, go to the events, watch the talks, do the tutorials, ask questions, and raise their hand for every opportunity. They tackle challenges head-on, treating every problem like a puzzle waiting to be solved. They do whatever they need to do to improve and learn new skills, and are willing to fail. But when they start getting good, they don’t let up. They’re so excited to be progressing in the craft, their never-ending desire to get really good starts here.
