Job Shadows
The staff at cf+a fully supports and encourages students in their pursuit of architectural education. We welcome high school seniors entertaining the idea of architecture as a profession through the job shadow program offered through Highland Community College’s Career Tec program (www.highland.edu) and through individual and group programming with the Freeport School District #145 (www.freeportschooldistrict.com).
We have hosted students from various local school districts in short-term job shadow visits, or longer-term studio experience. Several of our students have returned year after year for summer work between academic years and during holiday breaks.
If you’re in high school or college and just beginning to think about architecture as a profession, we recommend you do your homework! There are various websites to help you in searching out architecture degree programs throughout the country. Here are just a couple to get you started:
Also, check out various universities well-known for their architecture programs:
We take great pride and pleasure in giving students the opportunity to learn and witness first hand the challenges and rewards of the architecture profession.
