Join us live for a 45-minute Zoom session.
In 2023, there are over 930 million members on LinkedIn - and this number has nearly doubled since 2018. The platform is no longer seen as just a digital resume tool. Instead, many of the most established organizations and professionals rely on LinkedIn to cultivate relationships with others in their field, to expand engagement with their programs, and to attract partners and talent.
The session will cover:
Quick, simple steps to quickly build your own professional network and connect with opportunities.
Success stories: How workforce organizations have leveraged LinkedIn to strengthen their programs.
While this session was developed for workforce professionals, individual job-seekers are welcome to attend.
