Join UWaterloo Arts Café
We know networking can be uncomfortable. But it’s critical to your success. Whether it’s during your time at Waterloo or long after, networking will help you meet new people, find opportunities, and learn new skills. That’s why you should take advantage of our partnership with Ten Thousand Coffees and RBC Future Launch.
By joining UWaterloo Arts Café you will have access to hundreds of students and alumni with experiences that share similar journeys. You will also receive tips and tricks on how to nail first impressions, find opportunities, and make a lasting impact with each new meeting.
Not convinced? Here’s why you should start networking now:
- Up to 85 percent of jobs are filled through networking
- Online networking has lead to new opportunities for 35 percent of networkers
- 25 percent of people don’t network at all - give yourself a competitive edge!
The UWaterloo Arts Café on the Ten Thousand Coffees platform matches alumni with students and grads for career advice over ‘coffee’ - either online or in person on a monthly basis.
