Skills Lab – Creative Career Search (In-Person) @ Koelbel Library
Skills Lab is your chance to put what you’ve learned in our workshops into practice. Our workshops provide an incredible opportunity for you to build your network and strengthen your job search skills. While these workshops help us with the fundamentals, sometimes it helps to have round table discussions with your peers to gain job leads and get specific feedback from people who may have worked in similar areas. Skills Lab provides an open forum where you can get tips from advisors and peers or dive deeper into the skills learned in the workshops. Topics vary each week.
