Los Angeles, CA 90013
The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and the SCI-Arc Alumni Association present our annual Career Fair on Friday, March 20, 2009 from 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. This event provides firms with the opportunity to meet current students interested in internships and summer positions, as well as the next group of SCI-Arc graduates as they prepare to set foot into the professional world.
Our students are well-equipped with a comprehensive knowledge and skill base from which to launch their professional careers in the creative industry – most in architecture, but also in digital media, graphic arts and multimedia design.
SCI-Arc’s unique curriculum - which integrates design studio, visual studies, history, theory, and technology with professional practice and building techniques - cultivates architects and design professionals that are proficient in both the digital and material/physical aspects of practice.
Firms who participate in our Career Fair have on-site interaction with the future thought leaders in architecture and design. In addition, their on-campus presence raises their firm’s visibility and access to our student body throughout their academic tenure at SCI-Arc.
