Last year I signed up for a class called Noble 301, where throughout your senior year, you can contact someone who you would like to apprentice under to learn a hard skill. I was interested in architecture, and looked at many architecture firms around the downtown Little Rock area, and narrowed it down to one that I knew was credible. So I contacted Clint Whitley at Cromwell Architects and Engineers at the end of my junior year of high school. We had a meeting together at the firm and Mr. Whitley told me the things that are expected of me and some of the things I will be working on while I am apprenticing at Cromwell. He gave me a tour of the office and introduced me to many people who, he explained, have to come together to make a building work. Mr. Whitley met with my Noble 301 teacher and they then decided when I would start and what will happen during my apprenticeship.
