Business & Industry Cluster

In addition, the Career Services Center encourages community involvement by serving as the liaison to the Saint Paul’s College Business & Industry Cluster (BIC).  The purpose of the Business & Industry Cluster is to initiate, develop, and expand a cooperative relationship between the employing community and minority colleges.  Aid the minority institution in a variety of ways so that graduates will be better prepared to compete for jobs in private and government sectors, and to provide the employing community with increased and improved manpower resources. 

The Business and Industry Cluster meet several times a year on campus to provide students with valuable career development information.  Some Cluster events include an annual “Career Development Symposium,” and “A Mentoring Program,” (please see the newsletter links below for more details).  The following are some of our business partners:
