Career Treks
Career treks are engaging opportunities for WCOB students to expand their knowledge about industries and to explore workplace settings and cultures. It typically involves visiting an employer site within 3 hours of Boone. The main goals of a career trek include networking, learning about industry trends, gaining practical knowledge, and possibly identifying potential job or internship opportunities.
If you have an idea for a career trek or would like to partner with Business Career Services to organize one, please contact Jackie Garner at garnerjn@appstate.edu to coordinate.
Career treks include (but not limited to) the following:
Tour and/or overview of the company
