Hello 👋 Day: 18/30 Linkdin community! In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, networking has become an essential skill for students. As we navigate our educational journeys and prepare to enter the workforce, building a strong network can significantly impact our future success. Here’s why student networking is so important for the youth generation: 1. Access to Opportunities Networking provides students with access to a wealth of opportunities that may not be advertised publicly. By connecting with professionals in their fields of interest, students can learn about internships, job openings, and mentorship programs. These connections can serve as a bridge to valuable experiences that enhance their resumes and skill sets. 2. Skill Development Engaging with peers and industry professionals helps students develop critical skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Networking events, workshops, and informational interviews allow students to practice articulating their thoughts and ideas, boosting their confidence in professional settings. 3.Building Relationships Networking is not just about making contacts; it’s about building meaningful relationships. Establishing a network of supportive peers, mentors, and industry leaders creates a sense of community that can provide guidance and encouragement throughout one’s career journey. These relationships often lead to collaborations and partnerships that can be mutually beneficial. 4. Encouraging Collaboration In today’s collaborative work environment, networking fosters teamwork among students. By connecting with others who share similar interests or goals, students can collaborate on projects, share resources, and inspire one another to think creatively. This collaborative spirit often leads to innovative solutions and fresh perspectives. 5. Staying Informed Networking keeps students informed about industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices. Engaging with professionals allows students to gain insights into what employers are looking for and how they can stay competitive in their fields. This knowledge is invaluable as they prepare to enter the job market. In summary, student networking is not just an advantage; it’s a necessity in today’s dynamic landscape. By actively engaging in networking opportunities, students can set themselves up for success and create a foundation for their future careers. Let’s embrace the power of networking! 🌐✨ #StudentNetworking #CareerDevelopment #FutureLeaders #Networking #ProfessionalGrowth Degree2Destiny Axis Colleges

As I navigate through my university years in SMU - South Mediterranean University (MSB- MedTech-LCI), the importance of textbooks, lectures, and exams is often emphasized. Yet, there's an equally crucial element that deserves our attention: networking. The connections we forge during our time in academia can play a pivotal role in our personal and professional development. Here's why networking in universities is an investment in our future: Opening Doors to Opportunities: Networking with peers, professors, and alumni can open up a multitude of opportunities, from internships and job offers to collaborative projects and entrepreneurial ventures. It's about who you know, as much as what you know. Exchanging Ideas and Knowledge: Universities are melting pots of diverse thoughts and cultures. Networking allows us to exchange ideas, learn from others’ experiences, and gain insights that extend far beyond our own fields of study, enriching our educational journey. Building Lifelong Relationships: The connections made in university can last a lifetime, providing not only professional support but also personal growth and camaraderie. These relationships often become our most trusted circle of advisors, partners, and friends. Developing Soft Skills: Networking hones vital soft skills such as communication, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. These skills are invaluable in every aspect of life and can significantly enhance our employability and leadership capabilities. Fostering a Support System: The university experience can be challenging. Having a robust network provides a support system that can help navigate academic pressures, career decisions, and personal development. In the bustling halls, lively cafeterias, and even virtual classrooms of our universities, let's not overlook the immense power of simply connecting with those around us. Networking is not just about building a contact list; it's about weaving a web of mutual support and opportunity that can propel us toward our goals, both now and in the future. Let's make networking a priority and see where it can take us. The potential is limitless. #Networking #UniversityLife #CareerDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalNetworking

MBA programs are tailor-made for those who thrive in group work, networking events, and high-energy discussions. Yet it’s often the solo, deep-thinking work where the introverts at B-school shine. #introverts #MBAadmissions #businessschool #MBA https://lnkd.in/gaMqss7Z

Our final University of Hull alumni panel event of the year, hosted by Sally Scholes, saw a mix of career journeys and levels of experiences all with invaluable pieces of advice for our current students and recent graduates. A huge thank you to the organisations and professionals who supported the event and shared their insight Chelsea Paige Glanville ITV Aminah Shanah Siddique Gosschalks LLP Noreen Nasim Dave White Sabre Technology Taylor Ebdon North East Lincolnshire Council Jayne Hutton-Ellis Cabinet Office Some key points from our panelists:- ✨ If you have the power to put a barrier up in front of you, you have the power to take it down. Have faith in yourself! ✨ There's always going to be people telling you want they think you should do. Your biggest compass is your gut. Rely and trust in that when navigating your life and your career. ✨ You don't have to narrow down the direction of where your career is headed. It is very common to have a career that is not linear! ✨ Whilst at university, be sure to get involved with other areas outside of your studies such as volunteering, societies etc. These are the types of things that make you seem like an interesting person and will be what will make you more attractive to employers. ✨ Don't be afraid to ask cheeky questions. LinkedIn is a great way to do this and reach out. Use the alumni tool on LinkedIn to connect with those who have been in your very position and ask for a chat and some advice. You never know where that initial conversation may lead. ✨ Always have the mindset that no one is beneath you, you can learn something from everyone. ✨ Most importantly, you have to like and be excited by what you do. You need to get on with your colleagues, you manager, and be aligned to the values of the company. If you are a student considering your next steps, don't forget you can also chat to our Careers Consultants by booking in through Handshake. #alumni #panelevent #panel

"So, now what?" That’s the question Elena Terán asked the apprentices minutes after Mike Morse gave his million-dollar TED talk on the value of networking. “I will make a LinkedIn post today,” I said. All the while, there is a big question in my head, "What will my first post be?" For most people, getting on social media and sharing their story is second nature, but some of us panic at the mere thought of meeting someone new. As a BA apprentice at Ingage Partners, I’ve been thinking about how to be intentional about my LinkedIn and networking journey, but my thumb has hovered over "post" severally without posting. For those who don’t know, Ingage Partners is a consulting firm that blends purpose and business, working on projects that make a positive impact in both technology and the community (I'll tell you more soon). Networking and connecting with people have always been important—I know—but I never really saw the value in LinkedIn. To me, it seemed like just another glorified social media platform. However, after realizing the potential to build meaningful connections and learn from others here, I promised I’d make my first post, a deliberate one, today. It’s about 10:25 PM where I am; honestly, my thumb hovered over "post" for a while, but here we are! I guess this counts as my first post… so now what? Let me know how you all got started here! #FirstPost #Networking #BAJourney #ITJourney #Newcareer #IngagePartners #TED
