arts and humanitiesThe Career Services Department at St. Petersburg College’s Gibbs campus is hosting a Career Exploration Workshop for Arts and Humanities majors, or for those considering a career in the arts or humanities field. This will be a two-part workshop, with an industry expert answering questions during the first half and Career Services staff helping you prepare for a career in the arts and humanities field during the second half.

The workshop will be held on Thursday, March 1, 2018, from 12:30-2 p.m. at the St. Petersburg/ Gibbs Campus, 6605 5th Avenue N, St. Petersburg,  in room SA-135.

For some, this looks like a two-year degree in music performance, sound production, or music composition from St. Petersburg College’s MIRA program.

• Technical Writers
• Graphic Designers
• Musicians
• Event Organizers
• Philosophy Educators
• Public Relations Manager
• Archeology
• Fashion Designers
