The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) released season two of the NCARB Podcast in partnership with G?bl Media. This season explores NCARB’s Pathways to Practice initiative, which aims to create a more accessible yet equally rigorous architectural licensure process.
It also provides a preview into the future of architectural licensure: a competency-based framework that allows for several different types of assessments to ensure that qualified candidates can enter the profession, regardless of their professional or educational background. The eight episodes include:
- Understanding Why Licensure Is the Way It Is (Today)
- Why Fix What Isn’t Broken
- What’s in a Degree
- Earning Experience
- Evolving the Exam
- Foundations for a New Era
- Licensure Reimagined
- Where Do We Go From Here
Episodes are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or other podcast hosting platforms. You can learn more about NCARB’s Pathways to Practice initiative at ncarb.org/pathways.
