On the 30 March 2022, we ran a PG Skills training session on building valuable professional networks through virtual networking.

This training session was led by Birmingham alum and award winning social media consultant David Glenwright, Head of Training J C Social Media - A Low & Behold company. David takes you through what it means to network virtually, and what opportunities await online. Having once been the president of a networking group that generated over £3million of business for its 25 members in 12 months, David will share with you his experiences, as well as some top tips for creating a stand-out presence online that will help you make valuable career-progressing connections.

Recognise why professional networks would be beneficial and how they support your personal and professional development
Consider ways to further develop professional networks and the impact these can have
Learn how to enhance your presence online and find valuable contacts to network with
