Faculty of Art
Find meaningful work experience that reflects your unique strengths.
The Arts Amplifier is designed to help UBC Arts graduate students and postdoctoral fellows build their skills, interests, and experience through meaningful, short-term work experiences.
At the Arts Amplifier, we know that local not-for-profits and organizations have needs that grad students and postdocs can fill – needs for research support, data collection and analysis, communications, instructional design, and on and on. We create opportunities for you to work with these groups so you can learn how to use your academic skills in new environments and gain experience that will help you build towards a career.
We also work with you to help you leverage your own networks and co-develop with off-campus partners your own work and professional development experiences. Plus our grants editor can help you to apply for funding so that you are appropriately compensated for your time and expertise.
Our goal is to help you dip a toe into to the job market so that you can gain valuable information and experience to support you in building a meaningful career path.
