Building Your Network

These are two-way learning opportunities and meaningful interactions where people introduce themselves, describe their backgrounds and share useful knowledge about their professions.

Networking is a useful practice throughout your entire career. In any school, job or personal experience, you are gaining connections. There are people in your “network” who may be able to help you at some point and vice versa. Consider any and all interactions as opportunities to meet people who might be valuable to you or you to them. You can network at work, at professional meetings, on LinkedIn and at social and alumni gatherings.

Please refer to the Career Design Lab Course on your Canvas/Courseworks dashboard to find additional resources. LinkedIn Learning is another good resource for further learning.
