About the event
Networking is one of the highest-leverage skills we can teach our students. It unlocks career exploration, work-based learning opportunities, and the kind of industry-aligned advice that truly helps students move from interest to action.
But there's a gap between knowing that and actually getting students to do it independently.
In this free 45-minute session — 30 minutes of content followed by open Q&A — we'll share lessons learned working with high school students through young adults on the real blockers that get in the way: fear, imposter syndrome, the unwritten rules of professional interaction, and the task management challenges that derail follow-through.
You'll leave with a clearer picture of what it actually takes to move students from interest to action, and what micro skills make the difference.
