Road Trips to the Real World

GOT WINTER BREAK PLANS?

Participate in EACE’s Road Trips to the Real World! Road Trips offers college students the opportunity to attend one-day employer site visits between January 3-18, 2019. Host companies will talk about their organization, industry, internships, and job opportunities. This is your chance to get the inside scoop and literally get your foot in the door at more than 35 participating employers…BUT space is limited and spots fill up VERY quickly, so register now!

The registration deadline is Friday, December 7, 2018. Register at https://www.eace.org/roadtrips by clicking each site you’d like to visit and following the registration process. 

At each site, you will get an in-depth look at how the company operates and see firsthand the potential internships and jobs that are available. You will also network with employers and get a head start on your career planning. This is an opportunity you do not want to miss!

WHO: Students who are interested in exploring career opportunities. Open to any current undergraduate or graduate student attending a college or university that is a member of the Eastern Association of Colleges and Employers (EACE).

WHAT: An opportunity for students to learn first-hand about a career field, network with employers, and explore internship and job opportunities at 35+ companies.

WHERE: Northeast region (Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and D.C. just to name a few!).

WHEN:  Registration is open from October 29 – December 7, but sign up early as space is limited. Site visits take place on one day between January 3-18, 2018. View the schedule and register.

WHY:  It will help you to think about life after college and the career paths that are available. After all, it is never too early to start thinking about your career!
