Professional Networks
The University is committed to enhancing the employability and professional success of its alumni and students. In increasingly competitive job markets, professional networks provide connections and opportunities through online and face to face activities.
York Alumni Association aims to facilitate professional networking activities that connect alumni with one another, and with current students through its Professional Network Programme.
The networks will focus on specific professions and will comprise planned activities (e.g. events, presentations, proactive communications) and informal connections (e.g. one-to-one meetings after events, email exchanges, discussion forums).
