How it works
1
Select a Campus Facility
Your university identifies a building on campus to participate in the program, where equity is embedded. This facility serves as the foundation for the SEAM Studio experience, where students anchor their training by applying the Standard to a real-world project.
2
Students Train + Lead
Enrolled students complete SEAM AP training and exam prep, supported by faculty advisors and SEAM professionals. They take the lead in guiding the building through the SEAM Certification process, gaining hands-on experience with real tools and frameworks.
3
Certified + Credentialed
The chosen facility pursues SEAM Certification with discounted fees for participating schools. At the same time, students earn the SEAM Accredited Professional (AP) credential, leaving with both a transformed campus space and a credential that launches their careers.
Outcomes

🎓 Students earn a professional career credential, real-world project leadership, and career-ready skills.
