What this episode covers

It's Friday night, I am at home on my diet drinking water with not much to do - booo. Well, luckily the fantastic Emily Foster helped light up my evening, discussing her current role at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris as well as teaching us the ropes of the Architectural Apprentice scheme. If you are considering studying Architecture through the apprentice route, or an employer who knows very little about the scheme then it is well worth checking this podcast out. Roll up your socks, sleeves and get that glass of water before coming along for the ride.
