The NCARB Podcast, hosted by Andy McIntyre, Vice President at NCARB, brings together architects, educators, regulators, researchers, and industry leaders to unpack the systems behind licensure—and how those systems are evolving to better serve candidates, the profession, and the public. Season 1 explores Pathways to Practice, NCARB’s multi-year initiative to reimagine the path to architectural licensure. Across the season, Andy and his guests examine how licensure evolved, where today’s process creates barriers, and how a more flexible, competency-based model could expand access while maintaining the rigor needed to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T16:20:28.886756+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ncarb-7868300"},"episode":{"title":"Foundations for a New Era","slug":"foundations-for-a-new-era","published_at":"2026-06-24T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ncarb-7868300/foundations-for-a-new-era","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ncarb-7868300","url":"https://gablmedia.com/foundations-for-a-new-era","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/f222f9e7-5523-47c9-8eb9-d5dfc3b15e25.mp3","summary":"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.
