Introduce your organization to prospective talent early and make an impact.
Specialized Career Cohorts
Engage with students in their first years of career exploration and support them in developing industry-relevant skills, network, and explore opportunities. These programs provide intensive career preparation across a variety of industries and each program offers professional development opportunities and hands-on experiences.
Career Exploration Week
Career Exploration Week is a series of four-day programs designed to give incoming first-years a head start on exploring an industry or career pathway of their interest. Ranging from Law in New York to Data Science in California, these programs give you the opportunity to network with students, identify early talent, and showcase your firm through a site visit at your office!
Interested in hosting a group of incoming first years for a site visit between September 3-6, 2024? We look forward to connecting! Please contact Sophie Wingland at swingland@uchicago.edu.
