Changing direction: Brian's pursuit of an architectural technology career

Brian, a second-year student in the Architectural Technology program at Mohawk College, is proof that change isn’t only possible – it can improve your life.

Brian had spent many years working in the environmental field before deciding it was time for a change. “I was in more of a planning role. When I was reviewing planning applications, I always saw the way people could do things better,” says Brian. “But I didn't have the ability to say more than it ‘doesn't meet the policy.’ I knew I wanted to have more of an impact. I wanted to be on the other side. The design side rather than the application side.”
