Activities

Our approach is simple. Students and Recent graduates connect with Links (Professionals) to gain insight into their desired career.

Career Conversations

A Career Conversation is a meeting with a Link that allows the participant to explore a career, business and/or industry that they are interested in learning more about and can take place virtually, at a coffee house or the Link’s office.

Job Shadowing

Job Shadow sessions allow participants to gain insight into the job responsibilities of their desired careers. LinkHer partners with individuals and businesses to host ½ or full day sessions with interactive activities.
