'makes connections' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'bag job at top school' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'bag' could be 'net' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'net' is located in the answer.
'job' could be 'work' (synonyms) and 'work' is present in the answer.
'school' could be 's' and 's' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.
