Networking in general should be a central part of transitioning from university into industry. Social Media channels like LinkedIn should be one of the tools in your networking toolbox. But for many people, it seems unclear how to add to offline networking with online networking.

In this workshop, we will explore and discuss what’s realistic when it comes to networking on LinkedIn. We will go through what’s possible, also dependent on your comfort levels. We will learn about targeted networking, the netiquette and how to use posts as a networking tool. In short, LinkedIn can be a powerful tool during this transition if you know how to use it.

The target audience of this workshop is people who are not uncomfortable with networking but have not yet learned to use social media for networking.
