Learning Outcomes

Effective Networking
 
This workshop is designed to provide insight and interaction along with the know how to build and stabilize their business relationships through effective networking. This is a half day workshop.

We will cover who-what-where-when and why to network. The participants at this interactive workshop will leave with the tools they need to succeed in their research internships. They will have the opportunity to practice what they learn in the latter half of the day. Details on the actual networking exercises will be determined by the location of each event.

Activities will be customized to reflect the interests of the participants.

Participants will learn the importance of sharing contacts, and will receive insights on how to refresh, build, and make the most of the networks they already have. They will learn to build the rapport needed to make an impact on the decision makers.

How to make the first minute count
