Haworth Tompkins is excited to welcome our first two architectural apprentices to the studio offering both Level 6 and Level 7 opportunities. The apprenticeship programme has been launched to offer a more inclusive and diverse route into architecture, combining work-based learning with academic training. The programme reflects our social value commitments and support for the growth of the profession via alternative and holistic routes.
Our Level 7 apprentice, Aneesha Irika joined HT as a Part I and we will now support her via the Level 7 apprentice route at Cambridge university integrated Part II and Part III degree.
“I chose this apprenticeship for its focus on practical experience and career growth. In today’s competitive landscape, hands-on skills are valued alongside traditional learning, and Cambridge’s programme embraces this shift. It provides the ideal platform to develop real-world abilities essential for thriving in architecture. Additionally, the Part 2/3 study group at Haworth Tompkins further supports this ethos to nurture talent beyond traditional academia.” Aneesha Irika
Our Level 6 apprentice Jamila Saha was an Architectural Trainee as part of the Build the Way programme receiving creative and technical support by industry professionals and studies as part of the London School of Architecture Part 0 initiative. We will now support her to work through her Part I qualification via the Level 6 apprenticeship route at South Bank University.
“I couldn’t be more excited to embark on my journey as an apprentice with Haworth Tompkins and LSBU. The chance to gain valuable work experience with such a creative practice whilst pursuing architectural education is a fantastic opportunity for me”. Jamila Saha
