Licensure is more than passing exams—it’s about developing the professional judgment, communication skills, and workplace habits that set young architects up for long-term success. This workshop is designed for emerging professionals who want to build credibility, sharpen their project instincts, and grow more intentionally within their firms.

Join AIA and NCARB for a practical, discussion-based session covering the skills that don’t always show up on the licensure exam, but matter just as much on the path to becoming a licensed architect.
