Affordable Architectural Currently does not offer Work Experience
At this time, we are not able to offer formal work experience placements. As a growing practice, our current workflow and project commitments mean we aren’t in the right position to provide the level of guidance and supervision that a valuable placement deserves.
That said, we love hearing from committed and enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about the built environment. While we can’t offer structured work experience just yet, we are always happy to:
Give careers advice within the architecture, planning, and construction industry
Answer questions about pathways, skills, software, and qualifications
Offer guidance to help point you in the right direction
Support motivated students who are exploring career options
Work experience is definitely something we hope to offer in the future. As Affordable Architectural continues to grow, we aim to create opportunities where students and aspiring professionals can gain hands-on insight into the industry.
If you’re passionate, motivated, and want to learn more about the field, feel free to get in touch — we’d be delighted to hear from you.
