ARCHCAREERSGUIDE.COM 2025 SUMMARY
Happy New Year! Just like last year’s celebration, we are truly looking forward to what 2026 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 – SCHOLARSHIPS — https://www.archcareersguide.com/resources-scholarships/. We will continue to expand over the coming year; do let us know if you know of scholarship.
Another new resource launched in 2025 is K-12 ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION – https://www.archcareersguide.com/k-12-architecture-education/. One could argue that it is never too early to introduce architecture to a child; besides, children are also users of the built environment. Listed are numerous resources for a child of any age to be exposed to architecture.
Other resources such as our long standing Architecture Summer Program had over 250 programs from last summer and the listing for 2026 will be finalized by the end of January. And, our number of subscribers increased over 15% to 434.
So, below is a more detailed review of ARCHCareersGuide.com for 2024.
