NETWORKING

Building a strong network is one of the most valuable things students can do when starting their careers. Connecting with professionals, mentors, and peers can open doors to work experience, internships, and job opportunities, giving students a real insight into different industries.

Through networking, they gain support, guidance, and firsthand knowledge that helps them make informed career choices. As a Careers Advisor, I help students develop these connections by providing access to career events, industry contacts, and practical advice on securing work experience and internships. Schools benefit by giving their students the tools and confidence to build relationships that can lead to future success, ensuring they are well-prepared for the competitive job market.
