Social Media for Social Change                                                    

It has been brought to our attention by university and college graduates across the country, that there is no “bridge” between education and employment.

For the past few years Donna Messer and ConnectUs have been offering training programs that help graduate students bridge the gap and find gainful employment in their areas of expertise.  For 2012, Donna is launching a new program for high school students. Bridging the Gap, is a systematic process they can learn that will provide the skills they needed to find that summer job or that co-op placement.

They will learn:

• Ten rules for effective networking
• The importance of social media – LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogging
• How to use lateral thinking
• How to make the first minute count
• How to work a room
• How to follow-up

Donna Messer is one of Canada’s foremost networking experts. She is the author of the Canadian best seller, Effective Networking Strategies. Her networking training has been added to the curriculum of colleges and universities, boardrooms and government offices throughout the Canada, the United States and Europe. She combines interactive training and strategic planning, providing systematic techniques that can be immediately used and measured.
