Intern Think Tank:
Shape the Future of Internship

What do you think a future version of an internship program should look like?

The Intern Think Tank is your opportunity to get involved and be a part of the decisions that are made for the future.

 Who:      12 Interns
 When:      14-15 December 2012
 Where:      Washington, DC
 What:     Will analyze the current program’s real-world implementation and effectiveness, explore blue-sky ideas related to internship, and share ideas with the Council's leadership

FY13 Think Tank Charges:

The Intern Think Tank will be treated like all other NCARB committees. Members will be required to meet in person (December 14-15), do research, and compile a report of its findings for the Council’s Internship Committee and the NCARB Board of Directors. Its charges are:

  1. Identify the most successful elements of the current internship program, and suggest opportunities or related concepts that could enhance their effectiveness or increase their usage.
  2. Identify the most challenging elements of the current internship program and suggest options that could alleviate the problem, while ensuring equivalent or better experience.
  3. Propose new “blue-sky” concepts aimed at achieving a comprehensive experience requirement for licensure as an architect.
  4. Consider the value, appropriateness, need, and interest in establishing a pre-licensure credential. If deemed to be a favorable concept, propose a framework for such a credential.
First Meeting: December 14-15
