Architectural education has sometimes been referred to as a “gateway curriculum,” opening the doors to a wide array of career paths related to the built environment that go far beyond traditional practice. But which path is the right one for you and what exactly are those possibilities?For our first TSA CONNECT of 2025, we’re showcasing the wide variety of career paths those with an architectural or related education can pursue. Our Featured Guests have all carved their own unique paths, from traditional practice at all scales and specialties to working for client groups, municipalities, marketing and visualization, specifications writing, and so much more! Whether you’re a current student, a young professional, or are just looking for a change in direction, this session is an excellent opportunity to better understand how your architectural education and experience might translate into a unique professional journey that reflects your specific interests and goals.
Join us for a fun and insightful evening to make some connections, learn more about all the industry career possibilities out there, and hear some of the many stories and advice on career paths, finding a job, and more from our Featured Guests!
