Don't underestimate importance of Alumni Network

Here's a tip for engineering students who are looking for summer training in companies. Get in touch with your college's alumni network.Students often underestimate the importance of Alumni Network of college. They often think that college alumni will not be of any help. But think about it. The alumni network comprises of your seniors who are already working in organizations or running their own businesses. They have the most important thing: contacts!I've been on the alumni network of my alma mater and have helped many students (not exactly with summer training) with various questions/doubts they had about corporate world. The best part of it: all the help is available for free!If you are looking for summer training, all you have to do is get in touch with the executives of alumni network of your college and ask them to introduce you to the concerned authorities. They'll often be happy to help. If they can't provide you with what you are looking for, they'll at least refer you someone who can help you.Alumni networks can help you not only with summer training but also with many other things, like job search, kick-start your venture, help you seek funds for your college projects, help you organize event or activity etc.I hope this will help.-Kaustubh Katdare|Founder, CrazyEngineers-
