Trent Alumni Share Tips and Tricks for Career Success with Current Students
Life After Trent networking sessions prepare students for success after graduation
Earlier this month, the Colleges, Career Centre, and Alumni Affairs at Trent University hosted the third annual Life After Trent Alumni Networking Sessions. This year, along with the casual networking between alumni and upper year students, students took part in a networking seminar from the Career Centre before the event started, in order to prepare themselves to chat with incoming alumni.
To some, networking can be terrifying, but at these casual events there was really nothing to be afraid of. One student said that he came solely with the purpose of getting out of his comfort zone, that he “would never usually do something like this.”
These events offer the unique experience to gain the skills that students need to succeed once they leave the safe supports of Trent University. Not only did these sessions help students build new skills but gave them the opportunity to ask questions of successful and distinguished alumni.
