About this chapter

External networking is probably your second priority during the apprenticeship, after internal networking, but don't neglect it. LinkedIn and events help you build connections that last.

Key points

• Connections at other companies can alert you to jobs and opportunities you'd never otherwise see.
• Meet other apprentices and graduates from other companies and create a regular gathering if none exists.
• Look for industry and university events, and ask your line manager about time or funding.
• Offer to write a short report after an event to justify the time.
