What is Industrial Experience?

Studio Session on Industrial Experience. We were given a set of Questions we had to awnser. We then broke into groups and discussed the questions further. 

What is Industrial Experience?

Industrial experience is gang knowledge that allows you to push boundaries and learn, it gives you a feel for design lifestyle and offers help and support. It offers you the confidence with how a studio works and how you can add your input 

How do you get Industrial experience?

Work placements / speaking  to designers / mailing / accounts / studio visits  / clients / festivals / social events / festivals / letter / portfolio / know the language / be polite / be interested / know terms / now methods / area specific / be interested / print methods / how to use technology.
BE WILLING, ATTENTIVE, EDUCATED, INFORMED, INTERESTED, POLITE. 

What are your concerns about Industrial Experience?

Not getting any. People saying that your work isn't good enough. how do you approach designers, the right language to use, how you know what place is right for you. Not knowing enough on specific sections of design, not being confident, how to behave in the environment. Not getting enough work experience. Not knowing enough skills.
