Dal Career Cafe
Like Networking, but Better
Make connections with industry professionals and build your network.
It's no secret that networking matters. 85% of jobs are filled through networking, and it's often part of the job itself.
School is where your network begins, and we know it can be tricky to start on your own and to keep at it. That's why we've partnered with Ten Thousand Coffees to launch the Dal Career Café: a digital networking platform designed to connect you with industry professionals. The platform makes it easy for you, providing cheat sheets to nail first impressions, have rewarding conversations and make a lasting impact.
Once you sign up to the platform, matches are made each month automatically and optimized to your goals and experience. Introductions are guided with suggested talking points. Plus, you will get feedback after each meeting.
All you need to do is find time in each other's schedules to meet online with Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom (or any other mutually preferred tool), over the phone, or in-person.
Join the Dal Career Café to be matched with co-op employers and industry professionals for career-driven conversation and smart networking.
