NetworkEVENTS
Get out there...
We encourage you to network in a professional way during your opt-out years. Through our network of support, you’ll interact with peers, mentors and coaches to increase your confidence.
Untapped Potential hosts key events to prepare you to return or 'pivot' to your caliber. We partner with industry providers to deliver our skillUP content which readies you with in-demand skills. Through the workUP period we recommend you participate in Network Events to practice your elevator pitch and acclimate to today's workforce jargon. Network events can be industry specific, women-only, gender neutral or skill building.
All Events serve to put you out of your comfort zone while working to discover your next step professionally.
