Employer treks

**Employer trek strategy has shifted this year due to travel limitations and virtual work environments.

Employer treks provide students with opportunities to travel and engage with business leaders, learn about key industries, and meet Johns Hopkins Carey Business School alumni.

Students assist in planning each trek with support from the Carey Business School Career Development Office. Last year, over 230 students participated in 17 treks to local, domestic, and international employers. Students can participate in either CDO Signature Treks and Student Organization Led Treks.

Treks can include:

• Facility tours
• Host company presentations
• Functional expert panels
• Case question practice
• Meeting with executives
• Human Resources Q&A

Types of treks

Signature Treks are initiated by the Career Development Office (CDO) and planned by CDO and a selected Trek Leader and take place in January. Plans for the January 2020 Signature Treks are underway for the following:

• Consulting – Washington, DC
• Healthcare – Boston, MA
• Finance – New York, NY
• Marketing - New York, NY
• Social Impact - Washington, DC
• Technology & Innovation – San Francisco, CA
