SubscribeInternships and apprenticeships, when done right, give interns and apprentices life long lessons. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, these opportunities aren’t accessible to many and so we wanted to invite folks who have had these experiences to share some of the lessons they’ve learned.

Back when I first became a hair stylist, my mentor used to take me to see hair shows as part of my apprenticeship. One of her great influences, Christopher Dove, would headline some of the shows that we would attend. Read more>>
