‘Let’s Talk About…’ is a mini-series that discusses anything and everything about Rise! With over 50% of NTU students eligible for such support we thought we would talk about it, asking a selection of questions to a number of students, providing their take and experience on various rise-based topics. 

Today’s episode (and the final one of our mini-series) is all about networking; discussing not only the different forms networking can take, but also the fear and apprehension one may feel when making connections for themselves.
