^ This fact is super important to me as someone who did not go to university and when I was trying to get into the industry, the few internship options that were available were tied to being a uni graduate.
We have a couple of intern roles coming up at @ustwogames!
Reminder: "this role does not require prior professional or university experience"
~so apppppllllyyyy my self-taught lovelies!!!~
