Students

At IIDA Northland, students are the future of our profession. We’re committed to providing meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, and grow while building lasting relationships with peers and professionals in the design community.

Mentorship Program

The Mentorship Program is designed to help students and young professionals build strong professional connections, gain industry knowledge, and grow their confidence as emerging designers. Through small-group conversations, professional panels, and skill-building sessions like mock interviews and portfolio reviews, participants can take the first steps in shaping their career path.

Career Building Day

An exciting opportunity for students and young professionals to prepare for your future! Gain insights from a diverse group of design professionals in a dynamic and interactive setting for resume reviews, portfolio reviews, a professional panel and more!

SPARK

Ignite Your Creativity.
SPARK is a collaborative design experience where students team up to solve a creative design challenge. It’s an opportunity to share ideas, experiment, and learn in a fun, fast-paced setting that builds both confidence and connections. Whether sketching concepts, presenting solutions, or working with a partner, SPARK encourages you to explore your creativity while gaining valuable hands-on experience.
