CAPLA Students and Potential Employers Meet on Campus at CAPLA's 5th Annual Job Fair
On Friday, February 20, CAPLA students who are graduating in May or December 2015 descended on local firms who came to campus looking for their next big hire. Eleven architecture firms, including SmithGroupJJR, Ware Malcomb, Stephen Brenden Architects, Eglin & Bresler Architects, BWS Architects, HDR, cdg Architects, BRR Architecture, Kitchell Contractors, Bildane Building, and L2 Architects were in attendance. Pima County, the City of Tucson, Tucson Clean and Beautiful, Local First Arizona, Town of Marana, Town of Oro Valley, Town of Sahuarita, Norris Design, Merjent Environmental Consulting, and Rick Engineering sent representatives to interview graduating Sustainable Built Environments and Planning Students. Approximately 240 CAPLA students will land jobs as a result of this fair.
Sasha Wilson, Architect and Undergraduate Academic Advisor for CAPLA, offered this reflection: "Every year our fair has more participating firms, and the majority are looking to hire our graduates for jobs throughout the US - even internationally! Our goal is to grow this fair so every student has real job prospects at graduation, and the interviewing skillset to land that job."
