80x 1-to-1 sessions
19-25 year olds or new practices and start-ups
Under-represented groups from the boroughs of Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Wandsworth
January 2021 - March 2022
You can book free mentoring and Q&A sessions to gain career guidance, improved awareness of career opportunities or to discuss 'hot topics' that concern the built environment today. Practicing architects, urban designers and mentors will offer support and advice to others looking to progress within the industry.
For those later in their career trajectories seeking to establish independent businesses, you will be able to gain advice, useful resources - for example policies and best practice - to help increase the capacity of fledgling underrepresented-led architecture practices.
You can also book free 1-to-1 CV surgery sessions to help prepare for the workplace and gain advice on CV creation/ update or making job applications.

You can book a free session through Eventbrite. All mentoring will take place virtually (more details on registration).

You will be asked to complete details on registration. Not sure if you are eligible to participate or why these requirements exist? Download the latest FAQs here or get in touch.
