: : I am a senior at Penn State and am very near completion of a business/HR major. I am interested in attending classes and becoming certified in Business ContinuityAfter completing an internship where I rewrote and updated our Business Continuity Plan, I have decided to pursue a career in the field. Are there any organizations who may be interested in "taking me under their wing," paying for my certification in exchange for a contract, or anything of the sort? My student loans are likely to take up too much of my income to be able to fund classes all by myself. Is there an alternative to taking classes through the DRII? It appears that Penn State has nothing to do with any Business Continuity related majors or minors, but do you know of any reputable schools which do? What course of action would you recommend? I have so many questions, I hope I am not taking up too much of your time! I appreciate your advice and recommendations.
