Creating Connection Webinar
A Networking Mindset for the Next Generation: Alumni Networks for Impact
How has networking changed over the past five years? How can institutions encourage and leverage a networking mindset (and why?)?
This energetic and interactive webinar is an opportunity to explore how to build networking skills for alumni, with a focus on recent grads. Networking to get a job isn’t enough anymore.
This webinar will show you how to build a networking mindset for your alumni to build a meaningful career and a life with social impact. As universities and companies focus on Impact Rankings and sustainability, we can support our alumni to build impact into their career growth.
