Life Design Workshop at ITP

The future can feel uncertain, so we’ve created a Life Design workshop where students learn to apply design methods to their careers and to life after graduation.

  • This can be both an exciting and unnerving time.

  • What if you discover that your new job isn’t for you?

  • What happens if you start to drift away from the things you feel passionate about?

  • What path is right for you?

The goal of this workshop is to:

  • help students learn skills to better navigate their career choices

  • uncover where students are aligned with their values in their professional life

  • identify opportunities to quickly test out ideas

In this interactive, collaborative and highly engaging group session, participants will learn to use design methods they can apply to life planning. Because the group sessions are highly collaborative, they will lay the foundation for building a network of colleagues who will be able to help one another to make the ideas real going forward.

We will be holding a session at ITP on Saturday, February 2 from 10am-3pm.

Limited to 12 participants. Please RSVP by Jan 26 if you’re interested in participating.
