Career treks are exploration experiences that bring groups of 15-20 students to meet with potential employers to gain insights into their operations, company culture and career opportunities. These treks offer students the opportunity to explore different industries, network with professionals, and learn about potential career paths. Career treks are a valuable part of the career development process and can be especially helpful for students in the exploration and preparation stages of their career journey.
If you would like to host our students at your company space, please email career@stthomas.edu to discuss what that would look like.
