This year did not allow us to organise the EMCup like previous years, but we found a great alternative to still bring students together with industry professionals by organising an online networking event. This event enabled students and industry professionals to connect with each other, share ideas and broaden their horizons.
A professional network can support your career development and help you in your current role. It’s a great way to get a deeper understanding of the happenings within different departments in your company and within the industry as a whole, and it could even help you to secure new clients or get that dream job through recommendations. Making professional contacts not only benefits you in your current role, it can help you when you’re next on the lookout to make a career move as well. Having contacts in the right places will ensure you have a heads-up about the latest openings, and a well-placed word could help to secure that interview.
