Writing Workshop (K) Workshop (use this one)

Career Award (K) Workshop Application.
The ITM Career Award Writing Workshop is designed to demystify the K application process. This is accomplished by focusing on critical parts that make or break an application. This 10-week workshop is not meant as a replacement for a committed mentor, but to augment the knowledge available to K applicants. The workshop start date is Thursday, March 26, 2026. Applications will be accepted through Friday, March 20, 2026 or until max class capacity.

If, you agree to share results of your K application(s) with ITM Workshop faculty/staff. All responses will be confidential and will only be used to measure success of the Workshop.

Classes are held by Zoom every Thursday from 4:30-6:30PM
