Invite Students to your Workplace
Help bridge the road between campus and the world outside. Bring Stanford to your workspace! Invite a group of Stanford students to your organization by becoming part of our Career Exploration Treks. Or invite individual students to shadow at your workplace during a school break. Alumni play a vital role in making these hands-on learning opportunities available to current students.
Career Exploration Treks
Treks are one of BEAM’s signature programs. They're popular with students because they serve as a catalyst to consider new and different workplaces. During a career trek, a small group of up to 20 students spend approximately two hours at your place of work. The students are eager to learn about the organization, meet employees or Stanford alumni and hear about their career paths. Another important component of a career trek is a hands-on project, such as participating in a brainstorming session, observing research and development, or taking part in a case study working session.
Job Shadowing
Job shadowing is an opportunity for a Stanford student to gain insight into company culture, workspace, and ethos in a condensed timeframe, typically just 1-5 days. Hosting a student at your workplace, gives them an invaluable glimpse into what an industry or job function really feels like in practice. Students not only see what a specific job would entail, but also how work environments differ from each other.
