Abstract
In our quest to determine the future needs of planning education, we asked three well-respected, long-time planning practitioners to provide their insights as to what planning students need to excel in their professional careers. These three individuals have all been honored with the designation of Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners (FAICP) for their work and achievements in the field of planning. This chapter presents these three professionals’ views on their own planning careers and how their experiences in hiring and working with young planners have influenced their views on what university planning programs should be offering, in order to graduate the best prepared planning professionals.
