The Career Treks program brings students into the workplaces of employer partners, parents, and alumni locally and nationally to expose them to potential career paths and broaden their understanding of industries and company culture. The program leverages LMU’s well-positioned and successful alumni who are excited to share their insights and personal career stories with students. Participants engage with professionals around specific interests through targeted learning, conversation, and informal networking.
