EACE invites students to take a virtual Road Trip to the Real World!

This EACE Signature Program has been connecting students and employers for more than 18 years! Road Trips to the Real World is an exclusive opportunity for college students and alumni to join a virtual site visit during the January Winter Break to learn firsthand about a career field, network with top employers and their employees, and explore internship and job opportunities. In 2022, participants visited top employers like Google, WarnerMedia, FBI and more. View the 2022 Road Trips to the Real World infographic to see all employers we visited last year.

The student registration fee is $5 per site visit (plus EventBrite processing fee). Colleges/universities will also have the option to purchase prepaid ticket bundles (multiples of $25) for their students.
