Mark’s Journey: From BIM Training to Landing a Job Right After Graduation

Mark joined Iamthestudio with a goal: to graduate and step into a career-ready position as soon as possible. By focusing on BIM (Building Information Modeling), Mark equipped himself with the most in-demand skills and became familiar with real-world applications that firms value.

Key Success Factors for Mark:

  1. Comprehensive BIM Training
    Through our hands-on BIM courses, Mark mastered essential skills in Revit, understanding how to manage project workflows, model buildings digitally, and create high-quality construction documents. The training emphasized real-world problem-solving, which gave him the confidence to hit the ground running.
  2. Industry-Relevant Projects
    Mark’s training included practice projects that reflected actual industry standards, allowing him to develop a portfolio that showcased his knowledge and experience. Employers were able to see his readiness for immediate contribution, which fast-tracked him to being hired.
  3. Mentorship and Feedback
    Mark worked closely with Iamthestudio mentors who provided invaluable feedback on his work, helping him to refine his skills. This mentorship gave him insight into industry expectations and guided him on how to present his capabilities to potential employers.

Result: With these skills in hand, Mark graduated and was immediately hired by an emerging firm excited to bring him on board. His BIM proficiency and confidence made him a standout candidate, securing him a position in record time.

Saul’s Story: Winning Competitions and Securing an International Position from Algeria

Saul’s passion for parametric design led him to Iamthestudio, where he aimed to gain the skills to make his design visions a reality. While residing in Algeria, he sought to create a global footprint, and his Iamthestudio training was pivotal in his journey to winning a design competition and being hired by a Canadian firm.

Key Success Factors for Saul:

  1. Mastery in Parametric Design
    At Iamthestudio, Saul dived deep into parametric design, exploring advanced tools like Grasshopper for Rhino. He learned to think algorithmically, allowing him to create complex and unique designs that helped him stand out in competitive spaces.
  2. Real-World Application and Competition Readiness
    Saul applied his training to a prestigious design competition, where his parametric designs impressed judges. The competition experience helped him practice presenting complex ideas effectively—a skill we emphasize in Iamthestudio’s training as critical for gaining recognition in the field.
  3. Global Mentorship and Portfolio Development
    Although based in Algeria, Saul was able to benefit from our global mentorship, connecting with experts who guided him on how to enhance his portfolio for an international audience. His work demonstrated a sophisticated design approach, making him an attractive candidate for firms abroad.

Result: Saul’s work captured the attention of a Canadian firm, where he now works remotely, proving that talent knows no borders. His story showcases how mastering parametric design can open doors worldwide, even from a remote location.
