Description:
Business of Design: Purpose to Practice serves as an introduction to the professional design landscape. In this competitive labor market, companies are being choosy about qualified design talent and knowledge workers like us. And that, in turn, has created a climate for designers to be more targeted and selective with their job search — more than perhaps any other time in recent history. With hybrid work models here to stay, the notion of where and what a successful career looks like has evolved. Whether you’re looking for full-time, part-time, freelance, fractional, or contracting opportunities, the Purpose to Practice (P2P)class will help you get clear on your own career journey — from learning how to assess your unique mix of skills and experiences and communicate those in your personal brand, through how to make impact during those critical first 90 days on the job.
