Career Treks

Groups of Undergraduate and MBA students will be selected to represent the University of Alberta School of Business while meeting executives, associates, and recruitment partners in the workplace. Career Treks facilitate a unique environment in which post-secondary education is connected with the workplace. 

Furthermore, Career Treks allow students to gain industry insight on various cultures, recruitment processes and possible career trajectories and pathways at a given organization. In addition, they provide an amazing networking opportunity for students in which they are able to connect with corporates in their chosen field.  Specifically, each Career Trek connects students with potential employers outside of the Capital Region.

Career Treks are single or multiple-day events in which we will visit up to 4 organizations outside of Edmonton.

This upcoming Fall semester, the School of Business will be going on another Career Trek for undergraduate students, located in Calgary.  This trek will be split into 3 different streams - Finance, Energy, and Consulting.  This new format allows students to gain a more in-depth understanding of their chosen field by allowing them to visit employers exclusively related to their industry.  Each of the respective streams are filled with various reputable companies that students will be introduced to and learn about.  Students will be able to apply via CareerConnect early in the Fall semester.

Companies that will be on the Fall 2023 Calgary Career Trek:

• Finance: ATB, Neo Financial, Resource Equity Partners, and RBC
• Consulting: McKinsey, Deloitte, and Accenture
• Energy: Enbridge, CNRL, and Shell
