  Components Helping Out-of-Work Members
AIA components are providing various services and programs to assist their out-of-work members. Component services and programs include providing a gathering place to talk and regroup, career roundtables, job listings on chapter and partner Web sites, e-mailing of job listings, and social networking on Facebook. Components are also offering training in Revit, interviewing, and portfolio and résumé building. Some offer continuing education classes with complimentary registration and seminars on navigating the economy, while others offer volunteer opportunities and promote outreach and sponsorships. There is even a chapter hosting speed dating-style job interviewing for its members. AIA components all share the common goals of offering encouragement and direct access to their out-of-work members.
