Program Testimonial

"My career has truly been set in motion by the internship with the Office of Business Continuity Planning at UNC Charlotte.  Despite the difficult economic times we are facing, I found the experience particularly useful in developing a valued and growing emphasis on business continuity in the field of emergency management.  Additionally, I gained valuable inter-personal, interviewing, and resume-building skills while absorbing invaluable area-specific knowledge from the Business Continuity Analyst, Joshua B. Allen.  In combination, these experiences, beginning with the inception of the internship program at UNC Charlotte, have culminated in my current position of Senior Consultant and Business Continuity Planner with Booz Allen Hamilton in Northern Virginia." Adam Allen, MPA
