Currently there is a limited chance of Architectural Technologists and Technicians finding work in the local area as there are very few if any workers in this occupation. Demand for this occupation is often linked to the level of commercial and industrial construction activity. Computer Assisted Drafting (CAD) skills are essential in gaining employment.

Although employment opportunities locally are limited, opportunities may exist in other areas of the province or in other regions of the country. People who are able to work elsewhere may want to research opportunities for this occupation in other labour markets within Nova Scotia and across the country. The future employment outlook for Architectural Technologists and Technicians in Nova Scotia is expected to be fair over the next 5 years.

Additional information on Architectural Technologists and Technicians (opportunities in other areas, training, who hires, current job openings, statistics and other information), is available on other parts of this web site.
