Site Visits/Company Tours

A Company Tour offers a meticulously organized Career Awareness experience where students venture into a company's environment to glean insights about the business, engage with employees, seek answers to their queries, and witness ongoing work processes.

More intricate than a mere field trip, a Company Tour is thoughtfully crafted to achieve specific educational goals, enrich students' learning, and foster understanding about the company, its industry sector, economic role, and potential career avenues.
