Dependent on the ebb and flow of our cyclical economy, the interior design industry can be a demanding, competitive obstacle course. Long hours, quick turn-arounds, and demanding clients – that’s what our industry is made of. Similar to how the physical demands of military training prepare recruits for service by toughening them up, know that all of these INDUSTRY CHALLENGES will ultimately strengthen you and your career.
As you make your way through your chosen interior design academic program, we suspect that you are beginning to understand how different – read: COMPLEX, DETAILED, TECHNICAL, THOUGHTFUL and MULTI-DISCIPLINED – this profession actually is.
However, other things are required of you if you really want to learn what you need to know and get you where you want to go. You've got to GET OUT THERE. You have to SHOW UP physically and BE PRESENT mentally. You must ENGAGE with others in the field, ABSORB their ideas and experiences, and OPEN UP YOUR MIND to the concept that you will LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY in this industry.
We CHALLENGE you to get out of your comfort zone by leaving your campus environment. Come MEET a wide range of successful professionals and industry leaders, LEARN from their career paths and missteps, and EXPLORE new avenues that you never even realized existed.
OUR MISSION is to help shape you into a better prepared job candidate, so for FUN we're playing off the concept of BOOT CAMP in the planning of this two-day event. For the future of your career, however, we're creating an incredibly opportunity-rich venue especially for you to BE EXPOSED to the reality of this amazingly diverse industry, INTERACT with successful professionals, and PROVE TO YOURSELF your passion for this industry beyond what's required in the classroom.
Sitting back and doing nothing is easy. Pursuing something worth having is hard. What are YOU going to choose?
