Keep in Touch Workshop (2 Parts)
In a world that is changing rapidly and where workers move around much more easily, it is important to learn how to manage your professional carrier as a company, or better still as a start-up.

It is therefore essential to learn how to manage relationships and use the new social tools intelligently.
