Your Career Networking Center

People with strong connections are able to find the resources that they need at the times that they need them, and that makes them more successful in their careers. Research has demonstrated time and time again that more people find their job through networking than by any other means.

When you became part of the Michigan family, you joined (and enriched!) one of the most talented, diverse networks of students, faculty, staff and alumni in the world. Your Association is dedicated to helping you tap the power of this great network to enhance every aspect of your life. This Networking Center describes your Association's networking resources, teaches you how to network effectively and provides comprehensive lists of other associations and online resources that can also help you make the right connections.

Networking resources for Alumni Association members include:

Alumni NetWorks—Our career networking and advice program that offers graduates and current students the opportunity to gain information and networking contacts from one of U-M's most valuable resources, its alumni. Through this program, participants are able to contact alumni mentors who have volunteered to provide career coaching on topics ranging from information about their occupation and how to enter the job market to relocating to a specific city

inCircle—Our online networking community allows you to make professional connections by putting the power of your network to work for you. Instead of traditional directories that only let you look up people you know, inCircle lets you network with your friends and all the alumni they know. Your network will grow exponentially!
