Career Treks
Career Treks
Student site visits to employer workplaces offer a unique supplement to the traditional on-campus information session, allowing the student to directly experience an employer’s workplace culture and interface with key executives. Treks have brought groups of 10 to 100 students to employer destinations including New York, London, San Francisco, Tokyo, Boston, Hong Kong, Washington, D.C., and more. Advantages of participating in a trek include:
Students observe the organization and culture first-hand.
Treks allow students to position themselves as a select group of focused MBAs who have a demonstrated interest in the employer’s organization.
Treks are offered in a variety of locations throughout the year, allowing you to take advantage of multiple opportunities and experience a variety of business locales.
