Everybody wants to do well in their career. Whether it be to earn more money or to leave a legacy within your field.

But here’s the thing, wanting to do well isn’t enough. It’s a good start, but it’s not good enough to make you successful.

After all, if it does, there’ll be tons of millionaires out there right now, not the handful that we’re seeing.

Getting ahead in your career is about knowing what to do, when to do it, and who to do it with.

Education will teach you what to do. The experience is knowing when to do it. And networking will reveal who to do it with.

So here are three career networking sessions that could reveal your next job, mentor or even a career.

1. LIT Series by Young NTUC and SkillsFuture Singapore

Young NTUC has teamed up with SkillsFuture Singapore to organise a series of learning and networking events in July 2018.

• LIT Xchange (10^th July): during this flagship event, you can network and hear from speakers who work in IBM, VISA and ViSenze (an AI company).
