• Want a professional office job that builds real, transferable experience.

• A professional design-related job.
• Hands‑on experience on real projects.
• Exposure to how design concepts turn into built environments.
• A resume that finally reflects your education.

• Prepare and modify drawings, layouts, and design documentation.
• Support designers and project managers with drafting and coordination tasks.
