Interior Design Experience Program
 
New Guide for Supervisors and Mentors Available Now
IDEP Guide

Engaged supervisors and mentors are key to the success of NCIDQ's IDEP program. As a potential mentor or supervisor, you might be wondering what your roles and responsibilities would be.

Our new Guide for Supervisors and Mentors answers your questions about this exciting program.

As the next generation of designers enters the workforce, they need training and support. IDEP is a framework for them to get broad, high-quality work experience in their first years of work.

As a supervisor, you stand to gain as well--you'll help your participant develop into a more skilled and valuable employee.

Mentors, too, get something out of IDEP--they give back to the profession by making a difference in one young designer's life.
