You will learn how to create a professional LinkedIn profile, showcase your accomplishments with work samples, and start to build a network of people who can help you increase college acceptances and find jobs and internships & jobs.  

High school students can include a link to their LinkedIn profiles on college applications, impressing admissions officers with their professionalism and making their accomplishments come to life!
