What is a Site Visit?

Site visits offer a unique opportunity to tour employer offices, gain insider knowledge about an industry directly from the professionals within an organization, and explore career paths. During the site visit you will have time to network and build relationships with members working at the organization, see firsthand the company work culture, and learn about future career opportunities and recruitment processes.
