Hi, Zoe
Depending on the industry or roles that you are interested in, there are professional associations that could benefit your networking and job search goals.
For example, if you are interested in various chef roles in the culinary industry, I recommend
+ American Culinary Federation,
+ International Association of Culinary Professionals
+ National Restaurant Association
They each offer student memberships at a reduced cost, in-person/virtual networking events, and several resource pages and partnerships.
Just search on "INDUSTRY"+Assocations and "ROLE"+Associations for great results.
Cheering for your success!
