METHODS
Interactive experiences — not presentations
These workshops are hands-on and in-person, not lectures. Come ready to work. You'll use your laptop and phone to build and refine career materials during the session, using online tools and AI to research, draft, and improve your work. You'll practice communicating and getting feedback in a small group setting. You'll leave with refined career materials and a clearer sense of your next steps.
We offer these three workshops:

Can I join remotely? Can I watch the recorded video?
There is no option to join remotely, and nothing will be recorded. This is a unique workshop that allows attendees to practice their skills in a safe space. To respect the privacy of others, attendees may not record audio or video.
I don't have a laptop, are these good workshops for me?
You will get the most out of the experience if you have a tablet or laptop screen to work on. Go ahead and sign up if you have a smartphone and a large notebook for writing and sketching. Alternatively, you may contact us, so we can plan a future workshop to meet your needs.
What if I can only attend one day?
There is no need to attend more than one day. Workshops are standalone topics.
