According to a 2017 LinkedIn survey, 80% of professionals consider networking important to career growth because of its ability to nurture relationships, secure job opportunities, and even provide greater job satisfaction.

Through online Canvas modules and a live virtual workshop, you will learn how to tap into networks you already have, introduce yourself professionally, and build authentic, long-lasting connections.
