Using Canva for Job Search – Create Your Own Career Toolkit

Information

Are you looking for a job or starting your freelance journey? Join a supportive and creative study circle/class where we explore Canva together – no design experience needed!

In this hands-on online class, we’ll use Canva – a free and beginner-friendly design platform – to co-create useful career materials step by step. You’ll get guidance and inspiration from the circle leaders, and just as importantly, learn from each other by sharing experiences, ideas, and feedback. Whether you want to build a resume, a personal introduction page, or branded visuals for social media, you’ll develop professional materials in a collaborative and encouraging environment.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
This group is perfect for beginners, especially newcomers or job seekers, who want to gain digital design skills to boost their career prospects or launch small business ideas. The entire class is in English.

STRUCTURE
The course consists of 6 sessions, each 2.5 hours long, held live via Zoom with breakout rooms and group feedback. We meet every other week, giving you time to reflect, complete assignments, and apply what you’ve learned between sessions. You’ll also have the opportunity to stay in touch with the group between meetings for continued support and inspiration.
