AIA LI Emerging Professionals 
Mentorship Program

Call for Participants

The AIA LI Emerging Professionals Committee (LIEPC) Mentorship Program for Students, Intern Architects and Architects on Long Island, is starting again!

The Emerging Professionals Mentorship Program’s directives and goals:

  1. Establish a connection and expand networking efforts between architects, intern architects undergoing the licensing process and architecture students.
  2. Bridge the gap between established professionals and emerging professionals.
  3. Enhance the careers of the next generation of architects
  4. Supplement the tools for emerging professionals to complete requirements for licensure.

Through the Mentorship Program, architects will be able to establish a connection with entry-level, mid-level intern architects and students; and students and intern architects will have the opportunity to connect with mentors that will lead them through career development goals.
Each mentor group will have a college student, an intern architect, a recently licensed architect and an experienced architect. This way, the group will share career experiences from all different levels.
The program outline consists of a one-hour meeting per month for a period of four months. Each group will meet initially at the kick-off meeting, “Mentorship Mixer”, on  March 11th, 2020  at SUNY Farmingdale. Thereafter, each group will meet at their convenience, once a month (or more if the group agrees) over the next three months. You will decide with the members of your mentoring group if you want to meet in-person or via conference call.
Program Schedule:

Call for Participants: Via Email. Please submit your information (see “ Information Required for Registration” ) to  epinfo@aialongisland.com

Registration Closes:  March 6th, 2020 at 5:00 PM
 
The LIEPC will arrange the members in each group. We will attempt to group members that either work or live close to each other for convenience of meetings. The LIEPC will contact one person in each group to request to take upon the role of group coordinator. This person will coordinate with the group the subsequent meeting dates, times and locations.

  • For Intern Architects: Name, Firm Name (if applicable), years of experience, licensed/unlicensed, days of week available for meeting (including specifying lunchtime or evening), location (town or village). AXP/ARE status, if any.
