Overview
University of Toronto and Faculty of Information professors, librarians, staff, current students, alumni, and a collective of professionals and academics worked together to create the iSkills roster of workshops listed below. Together with the required curricula, these workshops create a unique and enriching educational experience. They address academic, professional, and technical competencies that can fill gaps in your resume and can support your in-class learning and professional endeavours. iSkills workshops are optional but encouraged!
To view a catalogue of our past sessions, please view the Historical iSkills Catalogue (last updated August 2024).
For students and alumni looking for workshop materials from previous sessions, including slides and handouts, please contact the iSkills Program Coordinator at support.
- Registration is required for all workshops.

Cancellations
If you are unable to attend a workshop for which you have signed up, be sure to cancel your registration at least 48 hours prior to the session. Avoiding last-minute cancellations helps ensure that other students and alumni on the waitlist have a chance to attend the workshop in your place and that instructors can accurately predict the number of attendees.
To cancel your workshop registration, please use the link provided in your initial registration confirmation email for the workshop, and follow the on-screen instructions. If you need to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances fewer than 48 hours before the scheduled workshop, please cancel your registration with the same link, but also please email support.
No-shows
If you fail to attend two workshops you have registered for, you will be sent a warning email from support.
Please ensure your Zoom display name and/or the name you write on the in-person attendance sheet matches the name you registered under on LibCal or Eventbrite. This helps us accurately cross-check registration and attendance data.
General Etiquette
Aim to arrive 10 minutes early for in-person workshops. If you need to leave the workshop before it ends, notify the instructor at the beginning of the session.
iSkills workshops are not recorded. Do not ask instructors to record their workshops.
All questions, comments, and suggestions related to iSkills workshops can be directed to the iSkills Program Coordinator at support.
