Assessment Task 2: Networking project Complete the following activities: 1. Identify networks Research at least three networks that may be relevant to yourself in the role of a Manager for any company. This could be an association for managers or a local business network. It could also be a Facebook Group set up specifically for managers. You will record these networks/events in the next part of the assessment. For each of the networks that you have selected, identify events provided by the network over the next 12 months. Identify at least 4 events that are of interest to you in the role of a Manager and that would be of benefit to the team and/or company. Bear in mind that when you complete your networking plan, one of the opportunities that you identify must be a networking opportunity that you participate in and report on as part of this assessment task. This networking opportunity can be something as simple as identifying and reviewing a relevant LinkedIn group or participating in a free webinar. Make notes to use in your networking plan. Networks could include, but are not limited to: Local chamber of commerce relevant to the student's location, peak bodies such as the Australian Institute of Management, social media networks, such as LinkedIn. 2.
