CEIBA (The Career Exploration in Business Accelerator) bridges the gap between the academic and professional worlds by hosting weekend-long programs that enable students and mentors from companies and organizations to work together as they identify commercial solutions to real world problems through the Capstone Project. A CEIBA program consists of four primary objectives: professional self-discovery, exploration of career paths, working on teams, and professional networking. These objectives are achieved through a combination of short 20 to 30-minute talks and lectures and working within teams on the Capstone project. Most importantly, CEIBA programs are free of charge for all student participants.
