ONLINE ALUMNI DIRECTORY HELP

What is Career Connections?

Like the Alumni Directory, Career Connections is an offering of UWAA Online Services. It is a Web-based networking resource for career information and exploration. Career Connections encompasses a nationwide network of more than 3000 UW alumni and friends of the University who have volunteered to support the career development of their fellow Huskies.

How can I receive networking assistance?

Current UWAA members are eligible to use Career Connections. It is a great tool for members looking to expand their network in their current field—as well as those considering a career change and seeking contacts in other fields. Like the Alumni Directory, access to Career Connections requires a UW NetID, which is your personal lifelong identification for using UW and UWAA online resources. All UW alumni and UWAA members are eligible to obtain a UW NetID.

How can I serve as a networking resource for UW students and alumni?

All alumni and friends of the University are invited to become Career Connections contacts. Contacts share information with UW students and alumni about their field and geographical area—and in some cases offer job search tips, networking referrals or job leads. It's easy to register and to set limits as to how often, and by what means, you might be contacted. For what typically will require no more than 10-15 minutes of your time per month, you can make a meaningful contribution to the career aspirations of current students and your fellow alums.
