Are other surveys of young architects and engineers available? 

The Future Leaders Focus survey is the only one of its kind, designed specifically to probe the needs and desires of architects, engineers, and other design professionals with up to 7 years of experience. 

HR Advisors Group conducted a pilot study in 2006 to gauge the challenges the A/E industry is facing today with recruiting and retaining talent.  The results of the pilot study, which we presented to conferences of both the American Institute of Architects and the National Society of Professional Engineers, demonstrated that there are differences in how this generation approaches their work and personal lives.  The 2007 Future Leaders Focus survey offers an opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of these issues, which savvy employers must understand in order to successfully recruit and retain young workers.
