This panel discussion brings together architects from a range of firms to share insights, strategies, and proven practices for creating meaningful internship and job shadow experiences. Participants will explore the core components of successful programs, discover engagement techniques that foster hands-on learning, and learn how to support the professional growth of early career talent through inclusive and confidence-building environments. Panelists will also discuss the return on investment these programs offer—from enhancing firm culture to strengthening recruitment pipelines—and share practical, scalable approaches any firm can adopt to get started or improve their efforts.
