This weekend, Rotman students will be heading to Silicon Valley for one of Rotman’s popular “Career Treks.” What are these career treks, you may be asking?
Well this is an initiative our Career Centre created a few years ago as an opportunity:
- For students to get to know other cities in the world as potential places to work post-MBA
- To learn about some of the most prominent companies in those cities
- To network with alumni face-to-face in those cities
- To get face time with business executives at some of the most prominent companies in those cities
In about 3 years Rotman has growth this initiative from one career trek to 6! Here is where Rotman students will have visited on career treks this year:
- Calgary, Alberta
- New York City
- Mississauga
- Silicon Valley (this is the one starting this weekend)
- Vancouver
- Los Angeles
And we expect to be adding even more in the next few months!
A typical career trek’s activities might look something like this:
- Day 1:
- Arrival
- City tour
- Socializing with Rotman peers
- Day 2:
- Visit 4 companies and network with executives for a few hours at each company during the day
- Evening reception
- Day 3:
- Visit 4 more companies for a few hours each during the day
- Evening reception
- Day 4:
- Visit 1 more company in the morning
- Flight back to Toronto in the afternoon

We had a very busy weekend hosting the Annual Rotman Open House earlier this month! The Open House, which took place on October 13th, is a school-wide event where candidates who are exploring Rotman’s various degree options (Full-Time MBA, Morning/Evening MBA, Master of Finance and Executive MBA) have an opportunity to learn more about our Programs and determine which path is right for them.
