SUN, JUNE 2ND – MITACS Workshop

Practical Tips for Growing Your Network – Flipped Classroom

Part 1: Pre-workshop online component (60 mins)

Part 2: ½ day in-person component (3 hours)

Description:

Get the knowledge you need to build your network! Your time at graduate school or during your post-doctoral fellowship will be filled with opportunities to make connections in and outside of your field. This flipped classroom course requires you to view a short online course that will give you the information you’ll need to make the most of each opportunity followed by an in-person session where you will put knowledge to practice!

Building a strong personal and professional network may be one of the single most important things you can do for your career.  Learn how to plan, prepare, build and foster your network and watch opportunities unfold in front of you!
