While still in school, NewSchool’s Career Services department offers opportunities to engage with industry professionals through events such as career fairs, lectures, networking, brokering informational interviews, internships, mentor/mentee programs and the GradShow, where graduating students showcase their thesis projects and network with top firms, NewSchool alumni, faculty and staff. Career Services reaches out to firms to encourage “top of mind” consideration of NewSchool students while educating employers on the appropriate salary levels. This data is based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent data as well as industry organization reports. This process promotes quality salaries at all levels as well as a healthy fiscal future for our community of students and alumni.

As graduation approaches, personalized interviews are held with each pending graduate to thoroughly understand their goals, skills, and experience and to reiterate the necessary steps to a successful job search. During this interview, a follow-up appointment is made to review and critique the resume, portfolio, and project list. Following graduation, Career Services consistently reaches out to each graduate, providing support and guidance throughout the job search, assistance with interview preparation, potential leads, and negotiation of offers. Once employed, the relationship continues in order to provide support, encouragement, and advice to our architects and designers.

Our team works closely with you in helping you develop your career goals, preparing you to meet with employers and securing job opportunities. The services we provide include:
