Industry Visits

Weatherhead’s Industry Visits give students the opportunity to step off campus and into the workplace through engaging, half-day site visits with leading organizations. These experiences are designed to help students connect with business professionals and industry leaders, explore workplace culture and gain firsthand exposure to career paths, industry trends and day-to-day operations.

Transportation and lunch are provided, making it easy for students to focus on learning, networking and making the most of each visit.

To be eligible to participate, students must attend a required networking preparation session in advance. This session helps students prepare to represent themselves professionally, build confidence and make meaningful connections during the visit.

These treks are valuable for students across all Weatherhead majors, and some visits are also open to students who are exploring or intending to declare a Weatherhead major or minor.  Whether you’re interested in business, finance, logistics, insurance, operations or corporate leadership, Industry Visits offer a meaningful look at how organizations innovate, collaborate and make an impact.
