## Resource

Pathways to Practice is built on years of research, analysis, and volunteer collaboration. This episode unpacks the foundation behind NCARB’s future licensure model: the Competency Standard. Andy speaks with Jared Zurn about NCARB’s Analysis of Practice, a large-scale study designed to understand how architecture is practiced today and how it is changing. The conversation explains why NCARB moved beyond a traditional job task analysis to better understand the future of practice. Then, Andrew Portis and Whitney Martin , members of NCARB’s Competency Task Force, share how the Competency Standard was developed and why defining competency at the point of initial licensure is so important. Find out more about Pathways to Practice .
