Abstract

In this study, internships in fashion-related areas were explored based on survey data obtained from 64 companies running an internship program, 55 internship participants and 118 internship applicants. In results, both internship participants and company practitioners were fairly satisfied with internship programs. Also, the academia and the industry were well collaborating for an internship operation. Internship in the fashion industry is considered as an important way to build practical abilities for college students. Product development and design were job areas that interns often took charge of. Active and sincere personnel who have good interpersonal skills, creative abilities, communication skills, and foreign language skills are welcomed as a good candidate for an intern. Reflecting the results, implications for internship offering companies and internship participants were generated.

본 연구에서는 인턴십 프로그램을 제공하는 64개 패션기업, 패션관련 자 중 인턴십 참가자 55명, 인턴십 참가희망자 118명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과를 토대로 패션기업 인턴십의 운영과 참여에 관한 의식을 조사하였다. 결과에서 인턴십 참가자와 기업 모두 인턴십 프로그램에 대체로 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며, 인턴십 운영을 위해 회사와 대학간 협력이 잘 이루어지고 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 인턴십 참가동기로는 실무능력 향상을 위해 참여한다는 응답이 많았으며, 실제적으로 의류제조와 의류유통분야 모두에 걸쳐 인턴들이 상품개발과 디자인 등 단기간에 개인능력을 활용할 수 있는 업무에 많이 투입되는 것으로 나타났다. 패션기업들은 적극적이면서 성실한 성격을 가지는 동시에 대인기술, 창의성, 의사소통능력, 외국어능력 등을 갖추는 것이 성공적인 인턴십을 위해 가장 중요한 준비라고 지적했다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 패션기업과 인턴참여자들을 위한 제안점들이 제시되었다.
