We are available to visit classrooms and conduct workshops for your students both in-person and virtually.

Fine Arts Career Services is available to visit your classroom and conduct workshops for your students. Workshops are conducted by our FACS staff. We offer several 30-60 minute workshops on a variety of topics including resumes, cover letters, job and internship searching, interviewing skills, networking and self-care. We can also tailor workshops to your needs. We require 2 weeks notice for standard in-class workshops. Requests for workshops on special topics not in our regular workshop rotation may require additional lead time depending on how much preparation time is needed.

Our staff is available to conduct workshops Mon-Fri between 9am-5pm. Requests for workshops outside of these times will be handled on a case-by-case basis. If you would like a career services staff member to present to your class, please email facs@austin.utexas.edu with your preferred topic and date. We look forward to collaborating with you!
