How Architectural BIM Internships Help Professionals Flourish in AEC Firms

Posted by Prabhat Singh on March 9th, 2023

An internship of any kind serves as a gateway to a professional working environment. Freshers working as interns get an opportunity to understand a firm’s work culture, processes, project standards, etc.

A BIM internship course does all of this and more for an AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) professional trying to find their footing in an AEC firm. An architectural BIM internship offers the following:

• Complete understanding of the BIM cycle
• Knowledge of industry codes and project standards
• Experience of working with BIM professionals on an industry-relevant project
• Enhanced architectural portfolio after working on a mid-scale residential/commercial project 

Several Autodesk Authorised Training Centres (ATCs) offer BIM internship courses for students and professionals. The trainers at an ATC are industry-experienced and offer their valuable input while training course participants on various software. 

Course participants undergo three months’ training and then complete a two-month paid internship with a reputed AEC firm. On course completion, participants may apply for jobs such as BIM architectural modellers, architectural BIM managers, architectural BIM documentation specialists and architectural BIM draftsmen/technicians.
