Many career counselors play an active role in sourcing job opportunities for their clients. That means they are working every day to get in touch with employers in their communities who could potentially interview and hire their job seeking clients. LinkedIn is not just a job search tool. The platform can help these counselors be more effective and efficient on the outreach they conduct on behalf of their clients. This training focuses on the various network building functionalities within the platform, including groups, messages, and people search. Like our other trainings, it helps build counselors’ confidence in and comfort with LinkedIn, which will make them more effective trainers when they help their clients use LinkedIn.
