❝In an era where social media plays an integral role in professional visibility, and in the context of trainees preparing for future careers in science, strengthening one’s profile and presence on LinkedIn is essential. A well-optimized LinkedIn profile not only helps establish a strong professional identity but also facilitates building meaningful connections, showcasing research achievements, and opening doors to job opportunities and collaborations.❞ Fanny Toussaint, CHHD Manager at the RI-MUHC

❝This LinkedIn workshop was very informative and taught me how to maintain a strong presence on LinkedIn. This allows me to build more connections with other trainees as well as academic and industry leaders, expanding my network and making it easier for me to find a position after my degree.❞ Emilie Desnoyers, Msc student at the RI-MUHC
❝I’ve been to many LinkedIn workshops, from the basic 101s to more advanced sessions, but this one was different. It started simple, then kept diving deeper into really practical tips, specifics, and loopholes that you don’t often hear about. Honestly, a good use of time.❞ Samia Jahouri, Msc student at the RI-MUHC
