“Wonderful, incredibly informative; awesome, absolutely invaluable, well planned and executed” are just a few comments from attending students attending the NKBA Student Career Day on October 16, 2010. Students got a lot of good information and ideas on how to get started in their career path. They loved the personal one-on-one interaction with top-notch designers in different fields of interior design.
The certification discussion presented by Executive Director Doug Stead, CID, at lunch was invaluable. The tour of the Lutron house was a highlight.
Would the attending students recommend this event to their fellow students? You bet they would. It was a day well spent. Watch this page for the future announcement of the 2012 NKBA Student Career Day.
Your supporters of the NKBA Student Career Day are available to help you all year round.
