Upcoming WOW Workshops
Internship and Carer Center
Room Main 114
Networking 101
March 20, 2019
Networking, or connecting with people who may be able to help with career exploration or point to others who may help, is a learned skill that most students need to develop. Students are frequently reluctant or don’t think to tap into their networks for assistance and guidance. In this workshop we will help students learn to identify who in the community might be a resource for them, how to approach them and follow up with the community member!
