Workshops on Demand

FAQ About Our Workshops

Expand all Collapse all

• How much advanced notice should I give when requesting a workshop?

  We request to be given at least two weeks notice for us to customize the workshop to your needs, but can be flexible if needed.

• Can we have The Career Center facilitate more than one workshop?

  Sure. We are happy to come back for repeat workshops or to deliver different workshop. However, if the demand for our workshops is greater than our ability to deliver them in a timely basis, preference will be given to first time requesters as well as based on the number of participants.

• Can the Career Center tailor a workshop for the specific needs of my students?

  Yes. We realize that workshops need to be flexible including time requirements, activities and a whole host of other factors. We are happy to work with you to make sure the workshop is relevant to your group and fits within your time requirements.

• I’d like to do a workshop, but don’t have specific guidelines. Will The Career Center create one for us from scratch?

  It is possible. We’re happy to work with you to customize a workshop if it is related to our areas of expertise. Some topics that are very specific and require considerable prep time may take more than the typical one to two weeks. We look forward collaborating with you!

• How long do workshops typically last?

  We have designed most workshops to last about one hour. We are happy to shorten workshops or lengthen them to meet your needs. We will talk about time constraints during our initial phone conversation or meeting.

• When should I expect a response from the Career Center?

  We are committed to responding to your request within one (1) business day.

• Can I have the workshop at any time or any day of the week? How about weekends?

  Yes, we can schedule workshops mornings, afternoons or evenings, weekends and weekdays. We may have a hard time finding a staff member to facilitate a 2 a.m. workshop request, but in general we are very flexible.

• Is it possible to hold a workshop at The Career Center?

  Yes. Our office can accommodate about 15 people comfortably. Let us know what your needs are and we will work with you.

• Can we request a specific Workshop Facilitator?

  Yes. However, you will need to be flexible in terms of scheduling to accommodate the facilitator’s availability.

• If I request a workshop, what am I responsible for?

  Great question. You, as our Workshop Requester, are responsible for several tasks to help ensure the workshop is a tremendous success:

  • Requesting the workshop by contacting our office at x1456
  • Working with the Career Center Workshop Facilitator to confirm the appropriate workshop and identify ways to customize the workshop as appropriate
  • Providing feedback on the workshop to help us continually improve.
