Join this discussion to learn about hosting internships for high school students who are currently enrolled in architecture coursework.

April 3 at Noon

RSVP here

The AIA Colorado J.E.D.I. Committee invites you to a lunch time discussion to learn how your firm, large or small, can host internships for high school students who are enrolled in architecture coursework and interested in pursuing architecture careers. Discussion participants will include representatives from HDR, Denver Public Schools, and CEC Early College High School.

Raphael Chavez, AIA, will discuss HDR’s Denver High School Architecture Internship Program and it’s collaboration with Denver Public School’s Career Launch Program.

Each Spring and Summer semester, HDR hosts 2-4 high school students where they experience a college freshman level design studio. By the end of the internship, students will have completed approximately 100-120 hours of internship experience which can be applied to their NCARB record as well as receive high school credit.

Students leave the internship with an architecture project which they can submit with their future college applications. Additionally, interns are paid a stipend for the internship which is paid for by DPS. These internships are a great way for your firm to expand opportunities for underrepresented youth in the architecture education pipeline!
