Your digital footprint doesn’t have to be something you simply protect.

It can become an asset.

A thoughtful online presence can help someone discover a student's work, interests, skills and ideas long before a formal job application or college interview.

In this course, students explore practical ways their digital identity can support future opportunities.

Students will:

• Learn how professionals use digital platforms to demonstrate expertise and interests.

• Explore portfolios, LinkedIn, personal websites and professional social profiles.

• Discuss appropriate ways to network online.

• Practice writing a short personal introduction.

• Learn how to reach out to mentors, organizations and potential collaborators professionally.

• Explore internships, entrepreneurship, freelancing, NIL and creator opportunities.

• Consider how online projects can demonstrate experience even before someone has a formal job.

• Identify one opportunity they would like their future brand to help them pursue.

Students begin to see digital presence not simply as social media—but as part of their career capital.
