Architectural internships are modern day’s reinterpretation of the late apprenticeship model, but with some modifications. In earlier centuries, when a young person wanted to pursue a profession or craft, they typically enlisted in a seven-year contract with a “master” who took them under their wing and trained them up as professional practitioners. This was the young person’s education. They didn’t go to a school, get a degree in the craft they wanted to pursue, and then go and ask the masters for a job. Instead, they obtained their mentor from day one and learned everything from him. Today, our approach is quite different. We decide we want to be architects and then we enroll in a school to study it. After about five years, we graduate and go out and ask the marketplace to hire us. But we quickly realize that we don’t really know anything about architecture, or, to be fairer, we do not know anything about the practice of architecture.
