F.A.Q.s
Do I have to register to come?
Yes, you MUST register to come as skillshops have a limited number of spots. We want everyone at each skillshop to get the individual attention they need, which is why spots are limited. 
How do I register?
Register via our <A HREF="http://www.eventbrite.com/o/spark-center-8173311472" TARGET="_blank">Eventbrite</A> page (if you're reading this, then you're in the right spot!). If there is a cost involved with the workshop, Eventbrite will walk you through the steps to pay for the workshop with a credit card. If you do not own a credit card, email brooke@sparkwestcentral.org with the details of the workshop for which you want to register.
Who is welcome at skillshops? Does one have to have a certain skill level or be a certain age?
Spark Center prides itself on bringing together beginners, professionals, and everyone in-between. Teens 16+ are welcome to register for skillshops. We prefer children under 16 register for playshops instead of skillshops, but we are open to discussing unique circumstances.
I can only come to some of the sessions of this skillshop. Should I still register?
Because we only have a limited number of spots for each skillshop, we ask that you register if you can attend all sessions of the skillshop. This also honors the teachers and the time they spend preparing your experience. Also, multi-session skillshops often build upon concepts/skills learned in previous sessions. 
If you become ill unexpectedly after registering or have to miss a skillshop session due to an emergency, please contact brooke@sparkwestcentral.org.
What do I need to bring to this skillshop?
If you need to bring any special items with you to the workshop, you will receive those instructions in a separate email a week or so prior to the event. Usually, and items you are expected to bring are listed in the workshop description.
I can only come to some of the sessions of this skillshop. Should I still register?
Because we only have a limited number of spots for each skillshop, we ask that you register if you can attend all sessions of the skillshop. There are two reasons for this. First, spots in playshops are limited, and we want to give those spots with students who are committed to attending all sessions of the playshop for which they register. Secondly, mutli-session playshops have learning activities that build upon one other, and children can feel left-behind and frustrated if they miss part of a session. We have many great playshops and activities for youth, so if you cannot make all sessions of this playshop, please wait and register for another opportunities.
If your child becomes ill unexpectedly after registering or has to miss a playshop session due to an emergency, please contact brooke@sparkwestcentral.org.
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
There is free 2-hour parking behind the Spark Center in Kendall Yards. Free 90 minute street parking is also available. There is also a bus stop on the corner of Summit and Monroe.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Contact brooke@sparkwestcentral.org with questions.
Create a polished resume and cover letter from scratch, then learn to conduct a successful job interview. You'll have help from trained volunteers, who will walk you through the writing and editing process, then put your new knowledge to the test in a mock interview with feedback afterward. Job Boot Camp is for anyone looking to improve their job application and interviewing skills, especially those with a particular job opening in mind.
