Virtual: Networking: A powerful tool for stepping into your career

Networking is one of the most important skills aspiring young professionals can hone when preparing for their careers. When done effectively, it can lead to jobs, internships, and mentors. But where do we start? In this workshop, Connecting Champions will touch on discovering career paths, identifying professionals with which to network, using tools to connect with those people (such as LinkedIn), knowing what to ask, and activating your network. Sample blurbs and step-by-step instructions will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to share their career(s) of interest or activities of interest in advance.

Presented by: Sidney Kushner, Executive Director & Founder of Connecting Champions;
