Opportunities

• are best for individuals who have at least two years of postsecondary training in drafting and considerable skill and experience using computer-aided drafting (CAD) systems.

Nature of Work

• Architectural Drafters draw architectural and structural features of buildings and other structures. Most drafters use computer-aided drafting (CAD) systems.

Training

• Community college credits are more likely to be accepted at 4-year colleges than are credits from technical institutes. After completing a 2-year associate degree program, graduates may obtain jobs as drafters or continue their education in a related field at 4-year colleges. Four-year colleges offer courses in architecture engineering and other related fields.
• Courses taken at CSN can lead to
  • Certificate of Achievement in Architectural Design Technology - Architectural Drafting Emphasis
  • Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree in Architectural Design Technology - Residential Design Emphasis
