Did you know we have a Virtual Networking Tool for Students & Alumni?
Through partnership with Ten Thousand Coffees, we offer virtual networking and career conversations for students and alumni - UPEI Connect!
How does it work? Students and Alumni fill out a profile with various education, experience, and interest tags, and this information is used to drive smart-matched introductions to someone else in the community every month. Here’s a 60-second video to help you learn more.
-
Students will be automatically matched with an alumnus or industry partner each month who can answer questions related to their career trajectory, background, degree, and skill set.
-
Once connected, members meet their match for a virtual coffee over the phone or through video conferencing to have a career-driven conversation.
-
Students receive UPEI-affiliated mentorship to add to their CV and a LinkedIn profile certification to add to their resume and/or volunteer experience.
What do we need from you? Depending on your role, you may interact directly with students either one on one or in a group setting. We ask you to send the video and share a little bit about Ten Thousand Coffees with them, so that they have access to this rich programming to help them prepare for their careers.
