The trek, organized by the Pan-Asian Career Association (PACA) membership at Carey in association with Carey's Career Development Office, was shaped to reveal Carey students to opportunities in the Chinese job market. The college students, many of whom are Chinese nationals, met with representatives from several prestigious employers, including Bloomberg, the Walt Disney Corporation, KPMG, General Electric, and Novartis. The college students said visiting employers as Johns Hopkins University college students opened several doors and alternatives that might lead to future employment. “When you say you are from Johns Hopkins University, their eyes open,” said Ching-Lun Fang, a Global MBA pupil from Taiwan. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to travel beneath the Johns Hopkins umbrella.” They also attended two alumni events where they networked with Carey graduates and gained useful insight about careers in China. Many of the scholars who participated have been international college students hailing from different components of mainland China, Taiwan, and other Asian countries. This was the first worldwide employer trek at Carey. Previous treks have visited Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Houston, and Chicago.
