"While students have strong interest in startups and other sectors, we are seeing a strong interest in established companies," says Leslie Su, 27, a California native who is helping to organize the early January Tech Trek to San Francisco and Silicon Valley. All of the 10 or so companies her group will be visiting, such as Facebook, Cisco, and Walmart eCommerce, are established high technology firms, she says. Separate MIT Sloan treks target health care, start-ups, and other sectors.
MIT MBA Students Tour Silicon Valley As Tech Campuses Expand | Xconomy
It’s easy to catch the technology bug. After all, tech companies are pretty much everywhere. I [Shany Alon] became hooked when I worked as an IT consultant at Accenture after college, and plan to work at a technology company after I finish my MBA. So when I had the opportunity to participate in a Technology Trek at MIT, I jumped at the chance of visiting some of the leading market players recognized globally for their entrepreneurial and technological innovation.
Ms Alon is VP of MIT Sloan Tech Club. Tours and Treks are Program Components of the MIT Sloan MBA. Treks are more informal, student-organized trips that are supported by the Career Development Office. Treks focus on areas with a high density of relevant businesses. Recent treks include visits to Japan, New York, Korea, Las Vegas, India, Silicon Valley, and Turkey.
Ten Thoughts from MIT Sloan's Silicon Valley Tech Trek | Xconomy
Each year, we at the MIT Entrepreneurship Center at the Sloan School of Management travel to Silicon Valley for a three-day immersion program with our MBA students who have a very
entrepreneurial spirit and interest. While we make visits during other parts of the year, this is different in that it is a 24×7 analysis of what is going on in Silicon Valley. We visit dozens of companies, hear
guest speakers from the venture capital sector as well as entrepreneurs, attend receptions with other universities in the area (Stanford and Berkeley), connect with alumni in the region, and visit multiple
incubators.
