Questions? Contact Us!

Did you know? Many people find employment opportunities through a network of people they know. It is well documented that professional networking is an important investment in time when beginning a career and in growing a career.

What is Networking and Why Should you Network?

Networking allows people to establish and nurture long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial. That is, the relationship benefits both people involved. Networking is also a great way to:

learn about career options
stay up-to-date on changes within a particular industry
guide people in developing skills, and
potentially lead to job opportunities.

Traditional networking does present some challenges though. It requires some confidence, the ability to articulate one’s thoughts and respond appropriately to social cues and nuances in communication. Networking often requires actively listening to another person and then responding spontaneously.

For adults on the autism spectrum, networking can sometimes feel counter-intuitive and extremely challenging as many autistics can be challenged by social communication and have difficulty understanding the non-verbal social cues that influence day-to-day interactions. But that doesn’t mean you have to be left out.

Join us for a Speed Networking session!

Thursday, September 12, 2023

11:00 – Noon

Online via Sinneave Connects

Attendees will learn all about networking and its benefits and connect with other neurodivergent professionals and job seekers to practice and refine your networking skills. Through a short presentation, a structured activity and discussion, participants will gain insight into the concept of professional networking, including WHAT it is, and HOW and WHERE to network.
