FAQs

Treks are normally between 90 minutes and 4 hours. Employers have full discretion on the length of the Trek.

Treks occur on weekdays during Fall Semester (September – November) and Spring Semester (February – April).

Treks can include a company tour, presentations, Q&A panels, networking opportunities, or any other activities that best showcase your organization’s unique organization and culture.

Career Treks are in-person experiences. The goal is for students to experience what it’s like to work onsite at different companies.

There are no formal program fees to host a Career Trek. Employers may choose to provide lunch and/or other refreshments, but it is not mandatory.
