Our first virtual company visit! Check out the Aon office and the people who work there!
Company Visits
While students pursuing particular majors and minors are typically enticed by the subject-matter, they are oftentimes unaware of the types of jobs in their coming field, along with the skills required to excel in them. Many are unsure about the exact day-to-day of a career within a particular industry, from the company culture and salary to rigor of tasks assigned
The Magner Career Center at Brooklyn College is especially devoted towards helping its students learn first-hand about a profession and industry. We take students on field trips to a plethora of company offices, firms, and entire organizations. In doing so, our students are given the valuable chance to meet Brooklyn College alumni who work across a wide variety of industries. Our company visits give students the opportunity to network with professionals, learn plenty more about a field or company, and especially determine if it is the right fit for them! The Magner Center’s company visits span across countless fields and industries.
Some of our past visits include but are not limited to:
