Career StagesIntern Development Program

An increasing number of students are seeking exposure to practice issues before they graduate from architecture school. The AIA has developed this site as a resource for students who wish to use the EPC to get a head start on their internship experience. Get started with the Emerging Professional's Companion today!

Remember, you must be enrolled in IDP in order to get credit for your work with the EPC.  However, you can use the EPC while in school for university credit (if provided by your professor) or use it independently to become familiar with practice issues in preparation for your internship. Contact your IDP Educator Coordinator to get started with IDP as soon as possible.

If you are interested in sharing the EPC with your fellow students, consider hosting a lunch time session to tell them about it. To arrange for someone to come and speak at your school, contact idp@aia.org.

Download the Students and the EPC flyer which includes frequently asked questions and provides a quick overview of the resource for EPC users.
