Build your presentation & design skills by recording and sharing your journey on social media platforms-- preferably YouTube-- that pay you when people watching your videos or join to your journey by subscribing to your channel... even if you don't choose to stay in architecture.

Hi James. You need to focus on gaining practical experience in your field. Internships, co-ops, or research positions give you hands-on skills and show that you can apply what you've learned in real situations. These experiences also make your resume stronger. So, you should start looking early, even in your first or second year, and don't be afraid to reach out to professors, local firms, or online internship listings.

Additionally, you can join clubs or work on projects related to your field. Architecture and engineering value teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. Student organizations, design competitions, or robotics and engineering teams give you chances to build skills and show what you can do. Keep examples of your work to include in portfolios or applications later.

You should also focus on developing your technical and soft skills. Technical skills could include software knowledge, like CAD programs. Soft skills, like communication, teamwork, and time management, are also very important. Consider taking leadership roles in clubs or group projects, which show initiative and responsibility.

Networking is another key step. You should build good relationships with professors, classmates, and professionals you meet in internships or events. Professors can write recommendation letters or guide you toward research opportunities. Professionals can offer mentorship, advice, and sometimes job opportunities after graduation.
