Networking with a Purpose

Networking comes in all shapes and sizes. From finding your next or first ‘dream job’ or customers for your business or top talent, networking is the most effective way of building and sustaining a successful professional life… however, how to network with a purpose can be a little overwhelming even though it doesn’t need to be!

Join us on Wednesday 16th June at 12pm as we kick off our Connect virtual event series.
