Recent college graduates are struggling to secure employment in today’s competitive job market, according to Jack Kelly, Forbes Senior Contributor. A lack of professional networking skills has emerged as a critical barrier preventing many young professionals from finding their footing in the workforce. Recognizing this urgent need, Career PowerUP, under the leadership of career strategist Pamela La Gioia, has unveiled LinkedIn UPLift, an innovative training program aimed at bridging the networking gap for students and recent graduates.
“Today’s job market doesn’t just require you to be skilled; it demands that you be connected,” says La Gioia, who recently authored Unlock the Power of Your LinkedIn Profile: Your Key to Creating a Stellar Profile. “Our mission is to empower graduates to forge meaningful professional relationships and build personal brands that open doors to opportunity.”
Addressing Critical Challenges
LinkedIn UPLift directly addresses key obstacles faced by recent graduates, including:
Professional Networking Fundamentals: Practical strategies for building and maintaining meaningful connections.
LinkedIn Profile Optimization: Guidance on crafting standout profiles that showcase unique skills and experiences.
Industry Engagement Strategies: Building confidence in approaching and connecting with industry professionals.
Why LinkedIn Matters
In an era where employers increasingly turn to LinkedIn to scout for talent, a strong online presence is no longer optional—it’s essential. Yet many students and recent graduates lack the knowledge and skills to position themselves effectively.
“A LinkedIn profile is like a career calling card,” explains La Gioia. “Without a compelling personal brand, students risk being invisible to employers. LinkedIn UPLift gives them the tools to stand out and shine.”

As the job market becomes more complex and competitive, Career PowerUP’s LinkedIn UPLift workshops are designed to provide actionable solutions. Participants leave the program with practical tools and insights they can immediately apply, ensuring they’re better equipped to not only secure jobs but also build long-term career success.
