NorthEast people are behind the national par in terms of networking, thus as a networking group we are trying our best to reach out to folks in the North East, a social program that links individuals from all over the world to lend a helping hand in fields such as work, career, and so on. So far, we have held our event in Guwahati and Tezpur, and we have team members in Imphal, Dibrugarh, Shillong, and Itanagar.
Linkedin plans to hold events in remote parts of the Northeast in near future as well. LinkedIn local Guwahati would also want to hold sessions on NFT, LinkedIn usage, LinkedIn marketing, and other subjects too.
