London Career Trek

The Career Trek program brings students into the workplaces of Emory alumni, external partners, and friends to introduce them to potential career paths and broaden their understanding of industries and careers, both domestic and international.

The program leverages Emory's well-positioned and successful alumni in major cities across the country and globe who are excited to share their insights and personal career stories with students. The program provides comprehensive support at every stage: students receive preparation and professional development before traveling, benefit from on-site coaching and mentoring during their visit, and participate in structured reflection activities upon return. We establish a clear baseline of best practice in each industry we explore while on an Oxford College Career Trek.
