Details

Networking is an integral part of the career development journey, but can feel overwhelming, particularly when you don't know where to start. Join the Center for Career Engagement, together with young alumni volunteers, as we share how to take the best advantage of the Gettysburg Network. We will cover finding networking contacts, reaching out, and and how to have productive and meaningful conversations.

Learning Outcomes:
1. Gain an understanding of the principles of professional networking and begin to identify ways to increase their social capital.
2. Interact with alumni, hear personal anecdotes, and gain networking advice from industry professionals in real time.
3. Students will learn how to develop new contacts within their field, strategies and techniques for networking, and begin to make a networking plan.
