Anteaters Go To Work

These visits are completely free for currently enrolled UC Irvine students.

All currently enrolled UC Irvine undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply. Some visits may prioritize students from specific majors or academic programs, and eligibility requirements will be listed in each visit's details. Alumni and UC Irvine Division of Continuing Education students are not eligible.

Each visit has limited space, so students must apply individually. We encourage you to invite your friends to apply for the same visit! Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee a spot.

Transportation assistance is available for students who need it. Lyft vouchers may be provided for each visit, and we'll make every effort to accommodate transportation needs. Please indicate on your application if you need transportation assistance.

Applications are submitted through ZotSpot (CampusGroups). Visit the individual site visit listing on this webpage to find application links and details.

All applicants will receive an email from the Division of Career Pathways with an update on their application status and any next steps. Notifications will be sent at least one week before the scheduled visit.

Business casual attire is the baseline for all visits. Think polished, neat, and comfortable clothing that you might wear to a professional office. Some visits may have additional attire or safety requirements, such as work boots. Any special requirements will be listed in the individual visit details.

Here are some examples:

• Feminine-presenting options: Blouses, sweaters, cardigans, dress pants, knee-length skirts, dresses, and flats or other closed-toe shoes.
• Masculine-presenting options: Collared button-down shirts, polo shirts, sweaters, slacks, and closed-toe dress shoes.
• Other options: A blazer, professional-looking trousers, or other neat, workplace-appropriate clothing are great choices.

You don't need to wear a suit or purchase a new outfit. The goal is to look neat, polished, and professional.

What to avoid: Jeans (including denim), shorts, athletic wear, sweatpants, basketball shorts, graphic T-shirts, tank tops, and flip-flops.

Important: Some visits may have additional attire or safety requirements. For example, certain workplace environments may require work boots or specific footwear. Any special requirements will be listed in the individual visit details. When in doubt, ask your visit coordinator!

All accepted students are required to attend an in-person pre-event orientation at the Division of Career Pathways. During orientation, you'll receive tips and guidance to help you make the most of your experience.

Your DCP visit coordinator may also email you additional information about the employer, itinerary, and what to expect on the day of the visit.

Remember, these visits are professional career exploration opportunities, not recruiting events. Be respectful, engaged, and considerate of both the employer representatives and fellow attendees.

The Division of Career Pathways (DCP) partners with the Basic Needs Center (BNC) to offer professional pop-up clothing events throughout the year.

Inventory for the professional clothing pop-ups is based on donations, so there is no guarantee you will find exactly what you want or need.

Bring your UCI student ID, a pen, and a notebook to jot down notes, questions, or follow-up opportunities. Since these are career exploration visits rather than recruiting events, there is no need to bring a resume.

Full attendance is required, and students should plan to participate for the entire duration of the visit. Please disclose any scheduling conflicts in your application.

We understand that emergencies can happen. However, leaving early or missing a visit without an unavoidable reason may affect your eligibility for future visit opportunities. If an emergency arises, notify your visit coordinator as soon as possible.

Once accepted, you'll receive an email with the contact information for your assigned Division of Career Pathways visit coordinator. They will be your main point of contact for questions and additional visit details. Until then, you can email questions to career@uci.edu.

Anteaters Go To Work visits are designed for career exploration, not recruitment. The goal is to help you understand what different careers look like in practice, explore industries, learn about workplace culture, and see what it's like to work at a particular organization.

Employers are not necessarily recruiting for jobs or internships during these visits. Instead, take the opportunity to ask questions, learn from professionals, and explore potential career paths.

Yes! You’re welcome to apply to multiple AG2W site visits. Each application will be reviewed separately, and acceptance is not guaranteed for every visit.

We appreciate your interest! Please either fill out this employer registration form or send an email to career@uci.edu (be sure to reference the Anteaters Go To Work program in the subject line). We will follow up with details.
