Learn how to connect with others
Networking is a crucial tool in job hunting and boosting your employability. Expanding your contacts can open doors to new opportunities for career advancement, meaningful connections in the industry or simply gaining access to valuable information. It allows you to connect with industry professionals or experienced peers and gain assistance, support and advice regarding your desired career path. By building confidence in the art of networking, not only will you achieve personal growth but you will also make lasting connections in the process.
We have invited guest speakers Dr Chie Adachi and Daniel Nguyen to provide industry insights in this upcoming webinar. You will have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A session and gain tips on how to build a professional network and confidently participate in networking. There will also be ample opportunities to share your own experiences and learn from other students and alumni.
