Search LinkedIn for professionals at companies you would like to work for and in roles that interest you. When possible, try sourcing alumni from your school or past employers to give you a point of commonality you can reference in your outreach.

Hi [Name]! I am a [program] student at [School] who is eager to learn more about [industry]. I would love to connect to chat about your role at [company] – I have a long-term goal of becoming a [occupation], and I think your insight would be invaluable.
