Zelgar,
I am an architect but involved in many minor activities.

Don't be completely apathetic toward the work though. If you are reviewing submittals, talk to your boss about them, ask why one product is acceptable while others are not. When drafting, don't blindly draw what your boss gives you, study it and ask about things you don't understand. Doing this will show your boss you are sincere in learning to be an architect or engineer. As you learn the do's and don'ts, the why's and why nots, your boss will eventually (we hope) start giving design tasks, small ones at first, but eventually more and more challenging design tasks will follow.
Don't rush the process, it takes time (years) to learn all you need to become a good architect/engineer. Even the most seasoned architect/engineer learns new things from time to time.

...I've been doing this for 40 years, this year, and I continue to learn new stuff!! Hope I never stop learning!!

It is just called "training".
tota123,
Education is one thing, but everybody needs training.
RE: Building Construction and management Experts
When I was applying to take the P.E. exam I had to show evidence of years of experience working under a licensed engineer. Because this is such a long learning period and the young architect/engineer is learning more than how to simply use AutoCAD and Excel, I am hesitant to simply call it "training". As an industry we don't call this learning period an apprenticeship/mentorship and to my knowledge there is no formal apprenticeship/mentorship program anywhere, I use these terms because I think they best describe this learning period.
I've not been in the industry as long as Ron, but I am still learning things, sometimes through white papers and Youtube, sometimes through structured training programs.
