Not sure what you want to do yet—or curious about how your interests might translate into a career? The Duke Career Center invites first-year and sophomore students to step outside the classroom and into the real world on our Career Trek to Atlanta, March 9–11.
This three-day immersive experience is designed to help you explore industries, discover career paths, and build confidence as you begin shaping your professional journey.
Why Atlanta?
Atlanta is a dynamic hub for business, sports, media, technology, and global brands. During the trek, students will visit a variety of organizations, including the Atlanta Hawks, Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, and more. You’ll gain firsthand insight into how these companies operate—and the many roles that exist beyond what you may see on a job board.
What You’ll Gain from the Career Trek
- Industry Exposure: Learn about careers across sports, corporate business, aviation, marketing, operations, and more
- Career Clarity: Understand how majors, skills, and interests connect to real-world roles
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with employers and Duke alumni eager to share advice and career insights
- Professional Growth: Build confidence navigating professional spaces and conversations early in your Duke journey
No prior experience or clear career goals required, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
Who Should Apply?
This trek is specifically designed for first-year and sophomore students who want to:
- Explore career options early
- Learn what’s possible with different majors
- Build relationships and ask real questions about life after Duke
How to Apply
Applications will open mid-January, so keep an eye on Career Hub and your email for details. Space is limited, and we encourage interested students to apply early.
If you’re ready to explore, connect, and take the first steps toward your future. Atlanta is calling.
