Workshop Objectives

Networking is an essential life skill that can be used to find and obtain employment and - if you are self employed - can help you get new clients. Speed networking is a faster networking technique used by people who want to connect with others but are time limited.

This workshop will provide you with practical speed networking (and regular networking) tips and techniques. We will look at the networking process from both your perspective and the other persons perspective. You will gain a deeper insight into what people and potential employeers are looking for during networking events and how to present yourself. Role playing will be used to practice the techniques and deepen your understanding.
