Purpose of this workshop
To help you identify and mobilise your networks and develop your networking skills.
Developing effective networking skills will help you achieve what you want personally and throughout your career. It is an important employability – and life - skill. Good networkers are able to create ‘social capital’ which they can draw on to create personal and professional success now and in the future. Networking is the practise of meeting and developing relationships with people who can be of help to you and whom you can help. Networking is a means of creating new opportunities for work and study, and of enhancing your personal and professional profile.
