The RRC Polytech Café is the College’s free online networking and mentorship platform that connects students and alumni through virtual ‘coffee chats’ and exclusive nation-wide events with career development experts. More than 3,500 current students and alumni members have already joined the Café.
How does it work? Students and alumni fill out a profile with education, experience, and interest tags. This information is then used to drive smart-match introductions between community members every month. Faculty, employers, industry partners, and supporters can also connect with students and alumni on RRC Polytech’s hub. Check out this 60-second video to see the platform in action.
