EP Resource Book1.Step Up: Identify Your Leaders

Designate two in-house IDP Coordinators, one which is a principal in your firm and the other a recently licensed Architect or soon-to-be licensed intern.

Register one of your two IDP Coordinators, at no cost, as an Auxiliary IDP Coordinator and gain access to valuable resources developed to assist in the pursuit of licensure. Email: idp@aia.org

Define the organizational structure of your in-house program.

EP Resource Book2. Survey Says: Define What You Need

Survey your interns and architects to determine your needs

Establish goals for your program

Define a plan and timeline for accomplishing those goals

EP Resource Book3. Get in the Know: Understand the Process

Launch your program with an IDP Bootcamp for everyone in your firm

Establish NCARB records for every intern in the firm

Increase learning opportunities and support for IDP

EP Resource Book4. Super Who? Educate Your Supervisors

Identify a Supervisor for every intern. Supervisors must be effective at delegating: organized, good listeners, trustworthy, motivating, and able to forgive for mistakes.

Provide Training for Supervisors for a general understanding of IDP andto improve communication and delegation skills.

EP Resource Book5. Mentorship: Redefine Apprenticeship

Educate everyone in the firm about Mentorship with a lunch presentation and discussion.

Assign Mentors to every intern or assist them in finding mentors outside the firm.

Recognize Reverse Mentoring: Interns have a lot to learn from the licensed professional, but you might be surprised what an intern can teach you. Interns will challenge their mentors to be better informed architects.

Encourage Peer Mentoring

Promote office camaraderie through informal information sharing at events such as routine happy hours or lunches.
