The NYC CONNECT Employer Treks will take place from January 8–12, 2024. Employer Treks provide students the opportunity to visit different notable employers on-site in their Manhattan offices to gain exposure to select career paths, industry trends and organizational cultures. Attending students will have an exclusive opportunity to network at New York City organizations and learn more about potential roles in the companies. A typical Employer Trek lasts two hours and consists of an employer information session, panel of employees, office tour, networking and a question and answer portion. This year, students will have at least 20 organizations to choose from that represent a variety of industries.
