At McKevitt King Architects, we have always been keen to encourage young people with an interest in architecture and design. Our Transition Year work experience programme gives students an opportunity to see first-hand what working in a busy architectural practice involves.
During their one-week placement, students get to meet our team, learn about the various projects we are working on and gain an insight into the day-to-day role of an architect. We introduce them to architectural drawing and design software, and give them a small design project of their own to put their creativity and new skills to the test.
Over the years, we have welcomed many enthusiastic TY students through our doors, some of whom have gone on to pursue careers in architecture. A number have even returned to work with us, which is particularly rewarding to see.
Places on our programme are limited, as we want to ensure every student receives a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. We encourage students with a genuine interest in architecture to get in touch well in advance of their school's work experience dates. Priority is given to students from Drogheda and the surrounding areas.
