Utah’s Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Pathway is a certificate program geared toward students interested in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction fields. The capstone experience of this work-based learning program is placement as an intern with a local Architecture, Engineering, or Construction company. This program is designed to benefit student learners while addressing the labor shortages in the construction industry.
The UAEC pathway program promotes local partnerships between businesses and education to offer students a space for career exploration and a connection to employers offering employment opportunities and support for continued education. Students enrolled in the UAEC pathway earn stackable credentials that lead to additional education programs and also provide students with a guaranteed job interview with industry partners.
This collaborative effort is driven by more than 100 partnerships comprised of businesses, trade associations, secondary and post-secondary education partnerships throughout Northern Utah. Partnering employers engage with students during Design-Build Day, an event hosted by Weber State University annually where students learn from and interact with employers who are who are offering opportunities to apply for internships.
