WHAT IS A CAREER TREK?

Career Treks are an opportunity for LSA students to learn about different companies and organizations by visiting their offices or headquarters. These company-site visits are designed to give LSA students a holistic overview of a particular company: learn about the culture, ask questions, and find out about career pathways within the company. Treks can range from one to three days depending on the location.
