Dear Colleague:<BR>
<BR>
The Partnership invites you to share a unique and special opportunity with your students of color. <BR>
<BR>
As part of an effort to promote career opportunities and to build a pipeline of future leaders in Boston, The Partnership/KeySpan College to Career Program presents the <B>2006 CAREER CONNECTION</B> <B>CONFERENCE</B> f<I>or undergraduate & graduate students of color</I>.<BR>
<BR>
On Friday, November 3, 2006 and Saturday, November 4, 2006, this conference will provide students of color with a day of leadership development workshops, vital networking opportunities to foster relationships and exposure to the Greater Boston area corporations.<BR>
<BR>
In February of 2006, at our Career Connection, twenty-seven companies met with a diverse pool of students of color representing 29 colleges and 34 major/concentrations. As a result, many internship and full time job matches were made. <BR>
<BR>
As we continue to connect talented students of color with the Greater Boston business community, please assist us in building awareness by distributing the attached flyer to students of color. <BR>
<BR>
