In The Field

In The Field offers an opportunity to learn about different careers in an industry by visiting an organization’s workplace. Join us for a small group visit to an organization where you will:

  • Explore a range of potential careers within an industry by hearing the career stories of employees.
  • Build your network by connecting with professionals from a range of departments and roles.
  • See what a typical workday looks like, understand workplace cultures and get a sense of the work and priorities of the organization via a workplace tour.

It is a valuable opportunity to get to see the inside of a company, meet its people and learn about their unique career stories.
