Now in its 5th year, the Bishop Launch Program (BLP) helps students become confident, competent, and competitive internship and job seekers. A semester-long program offered only during the fall term, BLP targets Sophomores & Juniors, helps them in their internship/job search process, and gives them the tools to successfully launch into their careers post OWU.

Why Participate?
In addition to intensive support from Career Connection, each participant will be partnered with a specific career coach and receive further 1:1 support.
