Scholarship / I intend to connect with a wider community through Chevening network. [3]
Chevening is looking for individuals with strong networking skills...)
Networking is an integral part of every professional endeavor, and as such, I attach I high sense of importance to keeping an effective professional network. Due to the deficiency I had in this area during my early years, I consciously sought to enhance my networking skills by reading, attending conferences and networking practically.
My effective networking begun after secondary school when I worked as a librarian at the XXX. As part of my responsibilities, I was part of the team that organized leadership conferences, sex education seminars, youth empowerment conferences and financial wisdom training, just to mention a few. I met CEO's, Board chairmen and other resource personnel from different walks of life. I consciously decided to engage these people in order to learn and maintain a relationship with them.
Notable among them are the CEO's of the XXX (former and current), chairman of the XXX, Mr. XXX (No1 Young Speaker 2015, Speakers Bureau) and CEO of XXX Ltd.
I have also established very important networks as a volunteer for a couple of organizations. The most recent being the XXX Foundation. The vision of XXX Foundation is to "turn challenges into projects". I currently teach children programming on weekends. I have met other partners and volunteers with different expertise who also have a passion to impact society. One of such organizations is XXX, who through art and dance create experiences that help to develop confidence in young people.
As a software developer and a computer scientist, I also network with other developers and scientists by attending technology conferences and through social media. Effective networking is inevitable in the computer industry and I intend to connect with a wider community through Chevening.
