Who are the BUILD participants?
Through BUILD, internationally educated professionals in architecture bring a wealth of knowledge and skills in architectural design, construction technology, and architectural management. These highly skilled professionals are ready to contribute to your business needs, bringing global perspectives and innovative solutions.
What is the BUILD program?
The BUILD (Building Unbiased and Inclusive Workplaces Leveraging Diversity) program is designed to bridge the gap for internationally educated architecture professionals seeking to establish themselves in the Canadian job market. Our program offers participants the opportunity to gain practical experience and showcase their expertise through short-term, impactful projects with Canadian employers.
Employers can post a range of architecture or design projects. Each project will be matched with a team of up to 5 learners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an employer project need to include?
How many projects can I submit and how many learners can I take on?
There’s no limit to how many projects an employer can submit to the BUILD program. You will be assigned a team of 5 per project. You must be able to provide at least 5 hours of mentorship and coaching to each project team you are matched with.
What if my project requires more than 40 hours of work?
If this is the case, we suggest splitting the one project into two distinct projects. Keep in mind working with 5 team members means a project can require 200 hours of work in total.
