Workshop guidelines

We only run workshops if there are 5 people or more. We will refer you to other services if we cancel the workshop due to lack of numbers.
Our workshops are usually 1 hour long and we expect you to attend the whole workshop. Out of respect to other students, we don't allow students to enter the workshop after quarter past the hour.

If you are unable to attend one of our workshops, but would like careers assistance, please let us know.
