Mentoring Others

Many schools of architecture have mentoring programs designed to link you with either an older student or a local professional. Perhaps surprisingly, the concept of mentoring has played a role in the profession of architecture since its early days as students would study under a seasoned architect to learn the ins and outs of the profession. Even now, the profession is committed to mentoring through IDP as many states require that you have a mentor, an architect outside of firm with whom you meet periodically to discuss your growth as an architect.
