Career

Build a strong future for yourself with a career in architectural technology.

Building construction continues to grow, and contractors expect the number of skilled laborers to decline, providing a need for new graduates to enter the architectural technology field.

Our graduates work:

in producing design and construction documents for architectural offices
as project co-ordinators, estimators and project inspectors for contracting firms
as housing specialists for design firms
as sales representatives for construction equipment manufacturers
