JCI Learn

As part of JCI’s core values of Progressive Improvement and Macroscopic Thinking, our mission is to develop a future generation of problem solvers. We host bi-weekly, 1 hr courses for professional development. These sessions are catered for intermediate-level Architectural interns. Our vision for JCI Learn is to:

1) Teach the practical aspects of the profession
2) Teach the why, not just the what
3) Empower your own professional development

All sessions are virtual, and free of charge as non-structured learning.
