Details
The City Treks career exploration program provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to connect with employers and alumni working in high-demand industries. On Tuesday, January 23, 2024, eight groups of 10-15 students will travel to New York City to visit two organizations from the same industry. The structure of the day enables students to compare and contrast different work environments, missions, and industry roles, as well as make real connections with alumni and industry experts. All Treks will take place in New York City. Transportation will be provided for students leaving from campus.
The Social Impact and Entrepreneurship Trek will visit Emma's Torch and TBD. Emma's Torch is a non-profit social enterprise. They provide refugees with in-depth culinary training as well as employability, equity, and empowerment training. Throughout their program, refugees learn in both a classroom and apprentice setting, thanks to their cafes and catering businesses. They set them up for successful employment in an industry in which their cultural heritage and cuisine can be celebrated. Students will be able to tour our space, observe teaching and meet with some of our staff to learn about our operations.
The second employer site visit for this trek is still to be determined.
As a Wintersession offering, registration for City Treks is first-come, first-served beginning on December 11. All interested students must fill out a registration form and will receive an update on their status (registered, waitlisted, declined) on a rolling basis through December 22nd. Accepted and alternate students will also need to attend a short, virtual orientation session prior to the trip.
**NEW WINTERSESSION TRIPS NO-SHOW PENALTY**
Given the limited number of trips available, the long waitlists for trips, and the significant investment of resources to make trips possible, trip registrants who are no-shows and did not cancel their registration with wintersession@princeton.edu at least 72 hours in advance of their trip will be charged $50 via their student account.
The only cancellations that will be accepted within 72 hours prior to the trip without the penalty fee must include a doctor’s note. Otherwise the $50 no-show fee will be charged.
**ALL TRIP ATTENDEES MUST COMPLETE THE Wintersession 2024 Trip Assumption of Risk and Release Form: https://forms.gle/sVJEW8cUAzenypwd6 If you are attending multiple trips, you only need to complete the waiver once.**
