Find out how to connect, collaborate and inform using social media technologies, which make it easier for members to network at times to suit them, and in ways that fit in more easily with busy work and home lives. Enabling social networking is a key part of CILIP’s membership support.
This evening course offers a practical introduction to social networking websites that will help raise the profile of your services and enable you to deliver them differently.
