Upcoming Career Views & Info Sessions


What is a Career View?
A Career View is an event hosted by the Office of Career Services, in which we take a group of Fordham students on a “site visit” to a company to obtain “behind-the-scenes” information about how the company operates on a daily basis. Students are offered a firsthand introduction to the world of work and the culture of various companies and organizations. Career Views are a great opportunity for students to begin networking, and could possibly lead to internships, mentoring and part or full-time career opportunities! To RSVP for a Career View, head to CareerLink, and find event you're interested in under the Events tab.

What is an Information Session?
An Information Session is an on-campus discussion and networking event hosted by a company looking to recruit Fordham students for internships or full and/or part-time jobs. A representative from the company will offer information about company culture, opportunities available to students, and often, they will answer questions from interested students. The format varies between info sessions, so please check out CareerLink for additional information about any info session you might be interested in!
