Networking is a long-term investment that will continue to give back to you as your career grows. With Ten Thousand Coffees, having those career-driven conversations is easy. You'll receive one introduction per month to a fellow student or alumni based on your career interests and goals.


How does it work?

1. Sign up to KPU Connects

Once you sign up to the platform, matches are made each month automatically and optimized to your preferences. Introductions are guided with suggested talking points. You can meet your match online, or speak to them on the phone. Plus, you will get compliments and feedback after each meeting.
