FREE masterclass will share top networking tips

The informal event is open to all and takes place on Thursday 5 March, 9.30am to 12 noon in The Hub Space at Barnsley College’s Old Mill Lane campus, Church Street, Barnsley, S70 2AX.

The session will be hosted by Elaine Mitchell, a coach, speaker and author with a passion for confident communication. Elaine has been in business for over a decade, helping business owners to find their voice whilst being creative and authentic in business.

The masterclass will cover ways to get the best out of your networking efforts. Elaine said: “This session is ideal for anyone who has to network as part of their role. They will leave with a powerful pitch and a set of skills and techniques that can be transferred to any networking situation, empowering them to speak with confidence at any event.”

Jess Widdowson, Enterprise Team Leader at Barnsley College, will introduce Talent United and explain how delegates can get involved with the programme, which aims to bridge the gap between education and employment. There will be an opportunity for open networking, and complimentary refreshments will also be provided.

Talent United regularly hosts a variety of free partner-led workshops designed to develop key skills. Jess said: “These events focus on a diverse set of themes from wellness to successful money management, and they are open to everyone. This makes them perfect for business owners wanting to introduce new skills, or individuals with an interest in a particular subject.”
