Social Capital for Student Success
You are working hard to help job seekers find employment. You see that they are becoming frustrated by the number of applications that they had to submit and the no callbacks that they have to endure. You spent your time and energy teaching them the best job hunt strategies but they are still not connecting to good labor market opportunities. What else can you do? In this 1.5 hour course, you will learn the basics of social capital development and how it differs greatly from networking. You will be able to teach the skills that the majority of gainfully employed people use to get jobs - how to use strong and weak tie social capital connections to find the job that they didn't know exists.
