SUMMARY:Architecture\, Belonging\, and Connection (ABC) – Candid Conversation About Showing Up for the Next Generation of Architects: Internships\, Mentorship\, and capX
DESCRIPTION:The future of architecture is strengthened when firms actively engage students and emerging professionals early in their journey. Internships and meaningful exposure to practice play a critical role in developing talent\, expanding access\, and sustaining the profession. Access to internships and early professional experience remains uneven\, shaped by geography\, educational pathways\, socioeconomic realities\, and the capacity of architecture firms. Community colleges and rural programs are critical access points but not fully connected to practice. At the same time\, small and mid-size firms\, a majority in California\, are often challenged by lack of time and infrastructure to participate in traditional internship models. The result is a continuing gap between education and practice\, and also a pull of talent away from the profession. \nThis candid conversation is an opportunity to share insight into what is working and how engagement can be expanded in ways that are practical and mutually beneficial. Together\, we will explore how tools like capX (California Architectural Practice Experience) can support firms and emerging professionals through flexible models that evolve with the needs of our community. Join your peers to exchange ideas\, challenge assumptions\, and help shape solutions that AIA CA and the California Architectural Foundation can develop and support to strengthen the profession’s future. \nModerators\nAmy Eliot\, AIA and Jason Oliver\, AIA
