ARCHCAREERSGUIDE.COM 2024 SUMMARY
Happy New Year! Just like last year’s celebration, we are truly looking forward to what 2025 brings.
But the start of the year typically means a review of the past year and a look forward to the next year. From all perspectives, we had a banner year with more blog posts than the previous year; we had more guest essays as well (see below).
We launched a new resource – FIRMS – (https://www.archcareersguide.com/firms/) that we will continue to expand for the coming year. Other resources such as our long standing Architecture Summer Program had over 250 programs from last summer and the listing for 2025 will be finalized by the end of January. And, our number of subscribers increased almost 40% to 375.
So, below is a more detailed review of ARCHCareersGuide.com for 2024.
