Networking is fundamental in Denmark. This workshop will explore the ABCs of networking – what it really means to network and how to customise it to your professional needs. Internationals often face the reality of having to reshape or enhance their professional identities. Using networking and LinkedIn as branding tools are great opportunities to emphasise your skills and talents.

Odense Robotics, International Community Odense and the University of Southern Denmark invite internationals to join us for a workshop focused on providing internationals with knowledge and tools on how to expand their network, as well as create and maintain active LinkedIn profiles. A LinkedIn account is a must not a want. Together, we will discuss and learn about tricks and tips to improve your LinkedIn account. Finally, if you do not already have an account set up, you will get help to set one up at the workshop.

We will define what networking really means and how to make it work for you.
We will discuss how to use LinkedIn as an active branding tool.
You will gain an understanding of what an active LinkedIn profile is.
