What We Do

Founded in May 2021

 

Just A Cuppa (JAC) was created with the idea of giving back to the student community to help them be more confident and strategic in reaching out to industry professionals for a coffee chat (to grab a “Cuppa” coffee) - be it to expand their network, to gain more industry insight or to build meaningful relationships.

​

This initiative came about after noticing that students were reluctant to reach out because of the lack of confidence, the fear of getting rejected or the lack of knowledge and skill sets to engage industry professionals on LinkedIn despite knowing the importance of building their network. 

​

Our mission is to empower and equip students with the knowledge to reach out to industry professionals, grab a "Cuppa" coffee, and build their own network. 

We currently host FREE workshops for students of various universities. Just A Cuppa LinkedIn Networking Workshop is a 1-hour workshop covering the following topics:

   1.   What is LinkedIn?​​ 

• Difference between LinkedIn and other social media platforms

• Statistics on LinkedIn

   2.   Benefits of Networking​

   3.   How to Reach Out to Industry Professionals on LinkedIn?

•  A walkthrough of "JAC Guidebook" containing messaging examples and templates

   4.   The Art of Grabbing a Cuppa 

• Learn how to have an engaging conversation over a coffee chat  

​

At the end of the workshop, "JAC Guidebook" and "JAC Networking Database Template" will be provided to all participants. "JAC Networking Database Template" is an excel sheet that helps track your connections upon reaching out to industry professionals.
