CCE Site Visit Program: New York City (Spring 2025)
What is a Site Visit?
Site visits serve as a gateway to the inner workings of organizations, offering a behind-the-scenes look at employer offices and organizational culture. Participants will have the chance to interact directly with alumni and professionals, gaining first-hand insights into industry-specific practices.
You can expect to gain a deeper understanding of each company’s ethos, career trajectories available within the organization, recruitment strategies, and future opportunities for engagement and collaboration.
Metrocards will be given to participating students and breakfast/lunch will be provided at select site visits.
Learn more about the New York City Site Visit Program at our information session on Thursday, February 6 at 3 pm. Register here!
