The Arts Career Design Studio is a cohort-based, 2-day intensive program for undergraduate Arts students across all majors and year levels. Participants will learn tools to design a meaningful path through their Arts degree and think about life after graduation; develop the skills to conduct an effective job search; practice telling their story verbally and in writing; and have the opportunity to meet with professionals employed in various industries.
This program will take place in-person at multiple locations in downtown Vancouver: the workshops will be held at UBC’s Robson Square campus, and the meetings with professionals will be 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 Tuesday, April 25th.
Students are strongly encouraged to attend the full Studio program, and those who do participate in the full series will be recognized with a document showing that they have completed an intensive professional development program.
“Connecting with alumni and getting specific useful suggestions for interviews, cover letters and resumes was so useful. It will change your thinking of what networking is.”
The full schedule of this program is as follows:
Wednesday, May 3: Workshop sessions at UBC Robson Square from 9:00 AM-12:30 PM, lunch break from 12:30-1:30 PM (lunch will be provided), and workplace visits from 1:30-5 PM.
Thursday, May 4: Workshop sessions at UBC Robson Square from 9:00 AM-12:30 PM, lunch break from 12:30-1:30 PM (bring or buy your own lunch), and workplace visits from 1:30-5 PM.
“It’s a very illustrative, intensive, but community-based, supportive workshop experience. You’ll learn so much beyond simply presentations and networking opportunities, hands-on experience and self reflection.”
Registration for this event is now closed. If you have any questions about the Career Design Studio, please reach out to arts.compass@ubc.ca.
