The interests of architecture students and emerging architects lie at the heart of ArchiPal’s business model. Through Pals of Architecture network, experiential learning will also be facilitated for emerging architects to gain real-world client experience to enhance their interpersonal and business skills. As soon as a student enrols in an architectural course, they will have an option to digitally record their architectural journey on ArchiPal’s portal, through a personalised dashboard and dedicated webspace. This is where all their projects will be recorded and where they can interact with their connections and display their skill set in the form of badges earned comments and reviews from customers, and recommendations sought. This will help them build an online digital portfolio to increase their employability should they opt to list their profile publicly; employers can follow this emerging talent pool and nurture prodigy. However, a dedicated job board will also be set up for employers to post architecture-related jobs.
While it maps with prescribed criteria for qualifications in architecture, ArchiChamps and young ArchiPals will, in a way, work as goodwill ambassadors for the profession, increasing awareness about the role of architects in society and the value they bring to projects within their local communities.
