I knew that it was good for career development\, but the program really excelled by having me step back and think critically about who I am\, how I think\, how I act\, my interests\, strengths\, and weaknesses\, as well as my career\, professional goals\, and aspirations. I learned a lot about the hard skills\, such as negotiating\, that are necessary to be a good manager but also the soft skills\, such as communication and listening\, to be a strong leader.” \n–Alex Zink\, Architect\, Payette \nWhy YDPDI Continues To Thrive and Improve: The Need / Our Instructors\nThe Need. Through building booms and recessions\, YDPDI has continued to thrive because there’s a need for it in the design profession. Early in your career\, job expectations enlarge. You’re no longer just a designer. Your firm now wants you to take on new tasks: more project management\, communicating\, writing\, managing finances\, negotiating\, presenting. You don’t need another degree\, but you do need serious exposure\, training and development — and that’s exactly what YDPDI delivers. \nOur Instructors. One of the great benefits of working in the Boston area is our access to some of the best thinkers and thoughtful design professionals in the world. 20+ session instructors – architects\, contractors\, engineers\, owner/clients – all specialists in their topic\, assist in teaching and leading small breakout group discussions. You not only to hear\, but connect and engage with them to explore the issues and ideas most important to you. \nNew This Year: AIA San Francisco joins YDPDI\nWe’re pleased to welcome AIA San Francisco as a new partnering YDPDI sponsor. We look forward to meet and work with AIA SF young designers and benefit from the perspective and insight they’ll add to discussions and professional relationship building. \nOnline or Live Programs in 2021?\nGiven the Covid-19 uncertainties at this time\, we’re planning all sessions to be online. We’ll be mitigating the constraints of online programs by adding several online networking opportunities. As the year progresses\, we may conduct select sessions live. \nProgram Leadership\nPresident of Gathering Pace\, Inc.\, William Ronco\, Ph.D.\, founded YDPDI 20+ years ago.

The sessions had a variety of speakers and mentorship opportunities that helped me define my career trajectory. The most valuable workshop for me was the writing workshop\, where I connected there with another participant and we submitted an abstract to the ABX 2020 conference. To our surprise\, it was accepted! Overall\, I highly recommend YDPDI for all emerging professionals!”\n–Arielle Scher\, Designer\, HGA Architects and Engineers \nYDPDI Benefits and Outcomes for Participants\nTraining and development are intangible but they can produce very tangible results.
