Micro-Metcalf ProgramTo help UChicago students thrive in the age of the gig economy,

the Micro-Metcalf Program offers “micro-internships”—paid,

short-term projects with employers. Students can apply for

these opportunities year-round to learn new skills, build their

resume, and explore potential career paths.

TreksCareer treks bring groups of students to visit employers,

build their professional network, and learn how they can be

top candidates for internships and full-time jobs throughout

the U.S. and around the world.

Recruiting ForumsRecruiting forums are “speed networking” style events that

help students meet a high volume of employers at a single

event. Career Advancement offers recruiting forums around

the world, including China, California, and Houston.

Post-Graduation FellowshipsThe Kimpton Fellows Program places graduating fourth

years in year-long fellowships that provide full-time jobs

in a wide variety of industries. In addition to substantive

career experiences, Kimpton Fellows also have access to

special professional development seminars that help them

hit the ground running in their career.

Career Exploration Week for New First YearsCareer Exploration Week programs give incoming first

years the opportunity to meet their new classmates and

immerse themselves in a career field that interests them.

Students explore a new city, visit leading employers, and

participate in cultural activities.

Gain Experience: Discover Your PassionCareer Support from Day 1UChicago students begin their career journey before they

arrive on campus. All incoming students are matched with

a Career Advancement adviser who will help them create

a plan for their four years and beyond. Career advisers

provide personalized support to students throughout their

time at UChicago. Students work closely with their advisers

to explore potential career paths, identify opportunities

that match their interests, and prepare effective application

materials for jobs, internships, and other opportunities.

Going Beyond Traditional RecruitingIn addition to traditional events such as career fairs, Career

Advancement offers unique and innovative opportunities

for employers and students to connect, including targeted

class-year programs, diversity recruiting events, and “speed

networking” recruiting forums throughout the globe.

“It is important to note that UChicago has done a

great job of educating and developing bright

young minds. Which is evident as we continue

to hire more and more of your students.”

outstanding, and we would have been pleased to work with

any one of them. Sometimes the cliché is true, that these are

‘the best of the best of the best.’”
