Greetings! The best way to network is find leader's you already know and trust. Potentially your current teachers or colleagues in your work place with the same mindset and goals.

There are many different ways to network while in high school. 1) joining extracurricular activities, such as DECA or other professional organizations, can put you in touch with professionals that you would want to connect with. 2) You can also attend school events such as career fairs, where individuals come to speak about their professions and trades.

Hi Treazzurie -
One of the simplest but most effective recommendations is creating a profile on LinkedIn.
Here are some of the benefits you can expect:
1. Building a professional network: Connect with professionals in your field of interest, including potential mentors, internship supervisors, and future employers.
2. Discovering job opportunities: Find internships, entry-level jobs, and research positions advertised by companies and recruiters on LinkedIn.
3. Showcasing your skills and experience: Create a strong profile that highlights your education, skills, projects, and volunteer work to impress potential employers.
4. Learning from experts: Follow influencers, companies, and organizations in your field to stay updated on industry trends and insights.
5. Joining relevant groups: Participate in industry-specific groups to engage in discussions, ask questions, and network with other professionals.
Here's a Youtube link on how to create a LinkedIn Profile.
