The Arts Career Design Studio is a cohor t-based\, two-day intensive program for undergraduate Arts students across all majors and year levels. This Studio seeks to create a safe space for 2S LGBTQIA+ students and allies to learn tools to design a meaningful path thr ough their Arts degrees and think about life after graduation.
Throu gh the Studio you will develop skills to conduct an effective job search\, including considerations around assessing opportunities for a fit with who you are and your values\; practice telling your story verbally and in writi ng\, including considerations around disclosing parts of your identity\; an d have the opportunity to meet with professionals employed in various indus tries who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. Sessions will be co-facilitated by member s of these communities who will share their lived experiences and career jo urneys.
As this is the first time we’ve offered the Studio with a fo cus on supporting students in specific communities\, we will invite student participants to be co-creators with us during the Studio\, and provide fee dback on their experience after\, to help shape and improve future iteratio ns of the studio for their peers.
This program will take place in-per son at multiple locations in downtown Vancouver: the workshops will be held at UBC’s Robson Square campus\, and the meetings with professionals will b e held at their workplaces. Given space constraints as well as the level of coordination that it requires to plan this off-campus program\, we kindly request that you register to participate in this program by Monday\ , April 22.
