In addition, arrangements can be made for:
• Job shadowing
• Informational interviews

Career Services and the Work Program
Career Services partners with the Work Program and alumni to give students a significant advantage. Through the Work Program, students gain valuable, real life experience making it easy to create an impressive resume. Blackburn alumni are more than willing to mentor students and provide networking opportunities.
These are just some of the resources available to Blackburn students and alumni. For more information, please feel free to contact the Career Services office.
