BlackRock Office Visit
Our Partnership: Chimpped
One of the benefits that our corporate partners have given our
organization is the ability to organize office visits for our members.
Many of our members are curious to explore different sectors of the
financial and business industries and are rarely given the opportunity to
go behind doors and experience a day within a successful corporation.
This semester, our executive board was able to plan a special office visit
to the BlackRock San Francisco office and have our members
experience the day to day activities within the office. This was a very
special opportunity for our members to gain a greater insight into the
financial service industry and aid them in the process of jumpstarting a
career within financial services by meeting and networking with
female professionals within BlackRock.
The BlackRock office visit was one of several done this year as others
included companies such as Google and GAP. Berkeley Women in
Business’s various office visits and opportunities to speak with
successful professionals within the financial and business industries
enable our members to enter the business world confident and
knowledgeable of which field they would like to pursue in the future.
Berkeley Women in Business looks for
sponsorships that can serve meaningful
connections. Chimpped is a startup
company that became our corporate
sponsor this academic year. In the fall
semester, Chimpped gave an informative
presentation on their startup. Our
members were able to understand
multiple elements of entrepreneurship.
In addition, we learned much about how
the company’s seed was sown and how it continues to grow.
Berkeley Women in Business is
interested not only in partnering with
major firms but also entrepreneurs and
start-ups. We like to foster strong,
mutual relationships with our corporate
sponsors. Our goal is to build
relationships that can benefit both parties
in helping each other grow and develop.
Thank You to Our Current Sponsors
