Spring Break Career Trek to Atlanta. Apply Today!

Not sure what you want to do yet—or curious about how your interests might translate into a career? The Duke Career Center (in collaboration with Duke LIFE) 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. DEADLINE TO APPLY IS 2/8. This is a fully funded trip.

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.

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 The Georgia Aquarium. 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. You also will have an opportunity to network with Duke Alumni in Atlanta.

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

APPLY BY February 8th!
