Our main platforms are LinkedIn and Whatsapp and you can join as many groups as you like, whether that's based on your career goals, personal or professional interests or the region that you live and/or work.
Each network hosts dedicated events, where you can access sector insights, hear from speakers from industry, gain careers guidance and professional development opportunities and of course, reconnect with old classmates.
