You’re worried about one thing: when you finish, nobody will know you.
That’s actually an advantage if you approach it right.
The Networking Reality
Most jobs are filled through networking. If you’re new to a field, you’re actually in a good position. You have a program cohort who all entered together. You have instructors with industry connections. You have a capstone/practicum where you work with actual employers.
That’s your network right there. You’re not building from zero. You’re building from peers and mentors.
How It Works in Practice
Someone in your cohort knows someone hiring. Someone from your practicum employer refers you. An instructor recommends you for a role they heard about. You’re not cold-calling. You’re leveraging relationships you built while learning.
