Networking events have become a popular way to brush elbows and make connections with seasoned professionals in your field of study. These connections and points of contact become an integral part of job hunting and setting up a future of success for any student.
Many students have insight into what they look for in an employer and can influence how employers hire students and graduates. Your opinion is unique and valuable to employers, as they are consistently looking for ways to attract and maintain top-talent.
This year’s Tie into Business Networking Night at Algonquin College was a tremendous success and saw a new all-time high attendance filling the room with over 100 participants.
