Workshop Details

“Are you Linkedin?”

Facilitators: Gavin Smith & Sanassa Burnett

Social Media is a powerful tool for creating and growing your personal brand. It’s often not clear how to set up a powerful profile. Is it an online resume? An expanded business card? Should you share personal information? Does it matter how many connections you have? Is anyone even looking at your profile?

Open your laptop and start transforming your LinkedIn profile into a powerful professional tool. This practical, hands-on workshop will demonstrate how to use the world’s largest business network to get the attention of recruiters, potential employers, and business prospects. You will see how LinkedIn can help you enhance your personal brand and promote your expertise.

Networking Bootcamp

Facilitators: Devin Morris & Sonya Dhanpat

As you build your career, networking will play a major role in how you find new jobs, professional opportunities, and even personal connections. The people in your network can give you career advice, insight into a new role, or connect you to someone at a new school or district you want to work for.

Join us to sharpen your networking skills and identify tools to bring with you to your next networking opportunity.
