AIAS > COVID-19 Student Resources

We are here for YOU!

At the AIAS National Office, we understand that this is a difficult and stressful time for most and that is why we are dedicated to uplifting and supporting our membership, now and always. ⁠
⁠
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be updating this page with resources that are relevant to the architectural community and opportunities you can take advantage of while “sheltering in place.” Please be sure to check back. Let’s remember that we are all in this together and there is no correct way to feel! Take this time to advance and support not only yourself, but the others around you.

Let the AIAS know how you’re doing by giving us an update on your situation: AIAS COVID-19 Vibe Check.

Job Boards & Resources:

How can students and recent graduates keep an eye on when the job market will begin to open back up again? Try monitoring the AIA Component Job Boards to determine if firms are looking for entry-level designers in the city of your choice. Not all job boards are created equal though, and they can be difficult to find. If you’re not careful you may end up with a lot of tabs open in your browser, so check this tab here on the AIAS website frequently to see how things are picking up in major cities around the United States. Some components even allow you to submit your own resume!
