As we’ve moved through the process of preparing this issue of the magazine, COVID-19 has overtaken us. I realise that articles that seemed so relevant a month ago may not have the same impact now; however, we trust that at some point life will return to something resembling normality, and recruitment, exam preparation and attendance will be issues once again. In the meantime, with so many young people spending more time at home, Zoe Dale’s guidance on compulsive gaming (see page 42) could be timely. Zoe highlights the difficulties faced in admitting there is a problem and asking for help: ‘Shame and humiliation can be paralysing emotions for young people’.

  • Business Networking Business Networking Tips and Techniques For
    Business Networking Business networking tips and techniques for networking events and networking websites Business networking is an effective low-cost marketing method for developing sales opportunities and contacts, based on referrals and introductions - either face-to-face at meetings and gatherings, or by other contact methods such as phone, email, and increasingly social and business networking websites (such as the Businessballs Community on this website). The shortened term 'networking' can be confused with computer networking/networks, which is different terminology, relating to connection and accessibility of multiple computer systems. A business network of contacts is both a route to market for you, and a marketing method. Business networking offers a way to reach decision-makers which might otherwise be very difficult to engage with using conventional advertising methods. In addition, business networking brings with it the added advantage of recommendation and personal introduction, which are always very helpful for developing business opportunities. Business networking is a way for you to make the maxim, "It's not what you know, it's who you know.." work for you. The principles and techniques of business networking are mostly common-sense. Many of the behavioural principles apply also to business and relationships generally, and specifically to selling, managing, coaching, facilitating, etc. Business Networking - Quick Tips Summary Here are ten of the most important principles for effective business networking. More details are linked from each tip to bigger explanations below. Consider that all sorts of professional people outside of the business community can also be very helpful networking contacts - for example, scientists, lecturers, educators, councillors, etc.

S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The information contained in this product was created by a grantee organization and does not necessarily reflect the official position of the U. S. Department of Labor. All references to non-governmental companies or organizations, their services, products, or resources are offered for informational purposes and should not be construed as an endorsement by the Department of Labor. Acknowledgements This report was made possible through grant # MI-17624-08-60-A-39 from the Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA) to examine the Public Workforce System and to determine how self-employment and entrepreneurship are (and could be) presented as options to the unemployed. The Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education (CEE) gratefully acknowledges the opportunity to investigate the system and make recommendations. This research has strengthened CEE‘s opinion that the Public Workforce System should fully embrace self-employment as an option for economic and workforce development. Jonathan Simonetta and Mary Vines of DOL/ETA provided critical information, assistance, and guidance and served as liaisons among many of those involved in this work. We thank all those at ETA who participated in our briefings, provided guidance about effective practices around the country, and helped complete the Entrepreneurship Competency Model which now resides on the DOL/ETA One-Stop Career Center website.
