THE CAREER DISCOVERY EXPERIENCE

Discover what professionals actually do—through conversations, observations, and insider access.

Curious about what professionals actually do all day? The Career Discovery Experience gives you access to alumni and professionals across industries and locations. Explore careers through conversations and observations—no work assignments, no performance pressure. Just authentic discovery and connection.

WHAT IS THE CAREER DISCOVERY EXPERIENCE?

The Career Discovery Experience connects first-year and sophomore students with alumni and professionals for virtual career exploration during winter break (January 4-25, 2027).

This isn't an internship or traditional job shadowing—you won't be completing work tasks or being evaluated on performance. Instead, you'll engage in meaningful career discovery through extended conversations and observational experiences designed to help you explore possibilities, ask questions, and build connections with professionals who want to help you discover what's possible.
