Is your Firm an AXP Friendly Firm
The AIA Oklahoma AXP Friendly Firm program (formerly "intern friendly firm") began in 2006 to recognize those firms that go above and beyond to help intern architects advance in their career through leadership opportunities and assistance throughout the licensure process. The program is now called AXP Friendly Firms to highlight the importance of the Architectural Experience Program (AXP).  AIA Oklahoma believes this program benefits both the interns and the firms that participate.  It helps bridge the gap between education and experience by providing the tools necessary to achieve licensure.  Firms benefit by creating an atmosphere of learning and professional growth, promoting professional development of staff so that more responsibility can be shared and fostering relationships among staff that create a positive environment which aids in retention of employees and a positive reputation among likely recruits.  In the end the sharing of knowledge between those who have experience and those who are eager to learn benefits the profession as a whole.

AXP Friendly Firm is now an annual designation. In order to be named an AXP friendly firm, a firm must fill out the form below and score at least 10 points.  Firms who score at least 15 points will be honored as an exemplary firm.  AXP Friendly Firms will be announced at the AIA Oklahoma Annual Business Meeting during lunch at the AIA Oklahoma Conference on Architecture on Friday, October 20.  Applications must be submitted to AIA Oklahoma no later than Friday, October 6, 2017.
