WHR is a full service architectural firm that respects intern architects and interior designers as professionals-in-training, not only as the future leaders of our firm, but also the potential leaders of the design and construction industry. We believe that staff empowerment can only exist in a firm with full and equal accessibility to career opportunities, benefits, recognition, and rewards for everyone who contributes to the firm's mission and supporting the firm's founding values.

We received the IDP Firm of the Year Award for our approach to the enhancement of its employees through mentoring and continuing education programs. Integral to our success is the concept that the firm should nurture a mentoring, learning environment that offers a full range of educational and career opportunities that supports each individuals' career plan and role in the firm.

A unique component of our Intern Development Program is the Tradewell Fellowship Program. This fellowship is a one-year program in medical planning for a graduate of an accredited architectural program. It includes employment at WHR as a medical planning intern and a scholarship to attend a national conference on healthcare planning, design, and construction. A number of our intern architects and interior designers are actively involved with AIA and IIDA and serve on local and state committees.

We offer an in-house continuing education program that is authorized by the AIA to issue Continuing Education Units for employee participation. We not only encourage participation of our employees in professional activities, but also pay for dues associated with these organizations. One of the current employee benefits includes paid time off to take the NCARB and NCIDQ exams, and financial reimbursement for each section of the exam passed.
