If you’re looking for an architecture internship with stellar supervisors, exposure to multiple projects, and financial support for the ARE, you’ve come to the right place. The Internship Advisory Committee (IAC) selected 20 firms for the 2014-2017 IDP Firm Award, recognizing practices that seamlessly integrate internship, examination, and career development into office culture.
To apply for the award, firms must demonstrate excellence in five categories: mentoring, supervising, training opportunities, commitment to IDP, and ARE support. And we’re not just talking about providing study materials—these firms reimburse interns for passed exams, plus any fees associated with maintaining an NCARB Record.
Firms that go above and beyond these criteria by embracing innovation are eligible for the Outstanding Firm Award. Several of these firms are hiring, so what are you waiting for?
