Building your career network
This module aims to help learners proactively seek opportunities to network and increase their ability to source jobs that might not have seemed accessible otherwise.
At the end of the module learners will be able to:
- Gain knowledge of how to search for jobs through own networks already in place
- Increase confidence to find and secure employment by demonstrating enthusiasm and proactivity within your growing network
- Improve their eligibility for employment
Learners will have the opportunity to prepare for and practice having conversations with people in their networks who can provide support, confidence and connections when they are looking for employment. They will be encouraged to develop skills such as aiming high (proactivity) and staying positive (resilience), and select places, people and events to improve access to jobs.
