Networking is one of the biggest areas where fellows and students communicate the need for additional training. However the concept of networking can be somewhat intangible and given the "internet of things" can seem to be a daunting and confusing task.
UC Santa Cruz provides membership and access to the Beyond the Professoriate series of training and webinars which help fill these training gaps and point in the direction of additional resources for further development. The platform features a number of different classes devoted to networking: the first class entitled “The Key to a Successful Career Transition.”
