Your LinkedIn Profile

You have valuable technical skills and experience, but does your LinkedIn profile communicate them clearly?

This practical, beginner-friendly workshop will help technical staff create or improve a LinkedIn profile that reflects their expertise, achievements and career interests. We'll explore how to describe the work you do, highlight projects and transferable skills, and present your experience confidently without overselling yourself.

Whether you are setting up LinkedIn for the first time, updating an existing profile or preparing for your next career move, you'll leave with practical improvements you can make straight away.
