Career Treks are a career exploration initiative that allows students to travel to various cities in order to gain insight into career fields of interest.

This is a great opportunity to for students and employers to network, discuss internship and full-time job opportunities, and for students to learn about the company's environment, day-to-day operations, and the hiring process and timeline.

Employers can sponsor a trip for a group of students to visit their city, tour their office, or meet virtually. Fees for treks will vary based on the trek agenda and location.

Does your department or student organization want to host their own trek? Use our Career Trek Toolkit to guide you through the process!
