With Keep In Touch, extend your network !

Keep In Touch is the novelty of the beginning of the year 2021 !

This new feature is only accessible on smartphones, so start by downloading our applications from the Android or iOS stores (just click on the links at the bottom of the page).

Have you ever tried to develop your network, not by just adding one more name to your LinkedIn profile ? It takes real exchanges and discussions to develop trust in someone and grasp what each person may have to bring, to be able to recommend the skills of an alumni, to obtain his support or to discover opportunities for collaboration. You mostly know your classmates, some of those who have preceded or followed you, and especially your friends. With the others, you share the same teaching, it is a solid base but rarely sufficient.

To develop your network, you can take advantage of the events organized by the association to discuss with other participants, join and contribute to the activity of regional, professional, cultural or student groups, or participate in class anniversaries. Last option, you can open the directory to contact alumni who work in a company or in a particular field. This last option is certainly the least natural, and this is where Keep In Touch will be a game-changer and will help to break the ice !

Like with dating applications, alumni who are just like you willing to develop their network will be put in touch, depending on what they are looking for, and then will have the possibility to exchange by messages, videoconference or ideally, during a meeting.

How does it work ?

Connections are made primarily between alumni registered on Keep In Touch. If there are not enough, other people from the database can be proposed, but they will only receive a notification inviting them to register, as a potential connection awaits them.

Every day, a limited number of alumni sharing your interests will be suggested to you, based on an affinity score calculation constructed as follows :

• 15 points for centers of interest
• 10 points for the meeting arrangements
• 15 for the objectives
• 10 bonus points if the other person has already "accepted" you
• 20 points on geolocation (less than 50 km)
• 5 points on the matches in the text of the biography
• 5 points on the professional course (company + city in common)
• 5 points on the school path (joint diplomas)

You only need to validate or refuse the proposed profiles ! Each time a validation is mutual, the relationship is established, all you have to do then is to discuss or meet !

Your turn ! Open the app and log in, find Keep In Touch in the menu, fill in your profile and interests, and expand your network !
