Nervous about networking? You're not alone.

Whether you’re a university student, soon-to-be student, or recent grad, networking can feel awkward and intimidating — especially if you’re not sure where to start or what to say.

This course will help you:

  • Feel confident when you meet new people — online or in person
  • Know who to connect with and where to find them
  • Talk about yourself naturally and professionally (without sounding fake or forced)
  • Turn small conversations into real opportunities for growth

Networking doesn’t have to feel scary or fake. It’s a skill you can learn — and once you do, it can open doors to mentors, internships, jobs, and lifelong connections.

What’s inside the course

You’ll get four short, practical lessons — perfect for busy students.
 Each includes a video (with adjustable speed), written transcript, and downloadable slides (PDF).

Learn directly from two experienced professionals:

  • Colleen Stevenson, a university educator and academic coach, founder of Choose Your Uni
  • Hannah Schwartz, a business strategist and founder of Start With Hannah

Together, they’ll teach you:
 ✅ Who to network with
 ✅ Where and how to start networking (even online)
 ✅ How to tell the difference between casual chats and real networking opportunities
 ✅ How to maintain and manage your new connections
