This iteration of the Arts Career Design Studio seeks to create a safe space for 2SLGBTQIA+ Arts undergraduate students and allies to learn tools to design a meaningful path through their Arts degrees and think about life after graduation.
Through this full-day Studio you will develop skills to conduct an effective job search, including considerations around assessing opportunities for a fit with who you are and alignment with your values; practice telling your story verbally and in writing, including considerations around disclosing parts of your identity; and have the opportunity to meet with professionals employed in various industries who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+. Sessions will be co-facilitated by members of these communities who will share their lived experiences and career journeys. .
“I've had a really positive experience in the Studio. I learned a lot about my own values that influence what I see myself doing in the future for my career. I gained more insight into resources and support that's available to me for career development.”
Visit the Career Design Studio Canvas module for more details on the schedule and what to expect.
Students are strongly encouraged to attend the full Studio program, and those who do will be recognized with a document showing that they have completed an intensive professional development program.
“I found the employer guests’ experiences with their 2SLGBTQIA+ identities and communities very relatable, and they gave really great examples of how they connect their identities with their careers.”
If you have any questions about the Career Design Studio, please reach out to arts.compass@ubc.ca.
This program will take place in-person at the UBC Vancouver Campus. Given space constraints as well as coordination of the panelists who will generously share their time with us, we kindly request that you register to participate in this program by Sunday, October 6th.
Arts Career Design Studio is part of a series of events in The Compass: Arts Students Engagement Hub. Learn the fundamentals of design thinking and how it can be applied to your career planning.
