If you are selected for this internship, this is the level of work you will be expected to produce.You will be expected to have your own computer and your own license for Adobe Photoshop as they will not be provided for a virtual internship. This has not seemed to be an issue for previous graphic design interns.

The Department of Veterans Affairs' Digital Media Engagement Team internship is one of the largest and most established internship programs available through the Virtual Student Federal Service. Last year, our internship had approximately 120 interns in various departments and leadership positions. If you want to join a team that is well structured and will offer meaningful work that will help you build skills that you can actually add to your resume, then you should definitely join our team.
