Career Academy
What is Career Academy?
Career Academy is an experiential professional development initiative composed of distinguished scholars and young professionals that aim to acquire and grow skills relevant to today’s workforce, advance their global cultural competencies, and preview post-graduate professional pathways.
Career Academy Participants (CAPs) are perpetual learners in their quest to lead in the world of work. Throughout Career Academy CAPs will:
- Experience intensive professional and educational development prior to departure
- Identify personal goals and career development activities that will impact post-graduate success
- Travel to a destination to implement newly acquired skills in real-time
- Develop global networking skills by connecting with like-minded alumni and professionals
This year, Career Academy heads to New York City for the first time to facilitate Career Academy scholars in building a national network.
Applications for this year's Career Academy experience are closed. Please look at the Presidential Career and Leadership Series for other Career Trek opportunities.
