January is National Mentoring Month, and at QA+M Architecture we take great pride in educating future architects, designers and engineers. Mike Lane, educational design specialist and Associate at QA+M, leads a group of Bristol students around the construction phase of the Bristol Arts and Innovation Magnet School. “Mentoring is very important in our field because the degree can be used in so many ways,” said Mike, “Mentoring can help kids better understand the different possibilities that are within the field and what we do on a day to day basis. By giving them this insight early on they are better prepared to find a career path that works for them.”
