Suzanne Ricci Shares VISIBLE Framework to Help Professionals Build Meaningful Career Connections

Visible Framework

New approach to networking focuses on visibility, credibility, and relationship-building in today’s AI-influenced job market

Tampa, FL – March 9, 2026 - For Immediate Release - Computer Coach CEO Suzanne Ricci recently delivered a featured presentation during a Women’s History Month event hosted by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council of a global enterprise software organization, where she introduced her VISIBLE Framework for modern professional networking.

The session focused on how professionals can navigate a hiring landscape that is increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and automated screening systems. Rather than relying solely on online applications, Ricci emphasized the importance of building visibility and relationships within an industry.

“Today’s job market has changed. Professionals need to build visibility, relationships, and credibility within their industry. The VISIBLE Framework helps professionals take control of their careers.”
— Suzanne Ricci, CEO of Computer Coach

During the presentation, Ricci outlined how traditional job search strategies are no longer enough in a digital-first environment. Professionals who actively engage with their industry and build a recognizable presence are more likely to uncover opportunities and advance their careers.

A Structured Approach to Modern Networking

The VISIBLE Framework provides a practical model for professionals looking to strengthen their presence and connections in online and hybrid work environments. The framework is built around six key principles:

  • Visual Presence Matters – Creating profiles and branding that clearly communicate expertise
  • Interact, Don’t Lurk – Engaging in conversations instead of passively observing
  • Speak Up with Smart Questions – Contributing thoughtfully to discussions
  • Invest in Follow-Up – Maintaining relationships beyond initial interactions
  • Be Known for Something – Developing a clear professional focus or niche
  • Leave Digital Footprints and Engage Consistently – Staying active and visible across platforms
  • Engage - Bridging Networking and Workforce Development

Ricci developed the VISIBLE Framework through years of experience in workforce development, technology training, and career coaching. As CEO of Computer Coach, she has worked with thousands of professionals navigating career transitions and pursuing industry certifications.

Her work increasingly centers on helping individuals adapt to a job market where visibility and professional relationships play a larger role in hiring decisions.

“Technical skills are essential, but they’re only part of the equation. Professionals also need to understand how to position themselves and build relationships where opportunities exist,” Ricci said.

Supporting Career Growth in a Changing Job Market

Computer Coach integrates career coaching strategies alongside technical training programs to help individuals translate their skills into real-world opportunities. The VISIBLE Framework is now incorporated into career discussions to support job seekers in building stronger networks and increasing their professional visibility.

As remote work and AI-assisted hiring continue to evolve, networking has become a critical skill for long-term career success.

“Professionals who stay visible and build authentic relationships within their field have a clear advantage,” Ricci added.
