What is TRAIL?

At Mines, earning a degree can mean so much more than completing coursework. Through our cutting-edge TRAIL initiative, students can now enhance their degree, their skillset and their marketability by engaging with this exciting and rewarding two-part program.

From performing undergraduate research, taking on leadership roles, to taking advantage of on and off-campus employment opportunities, students can enrich their university experience far beyond the four walls of the classroom. They will round out their skillset, develop meaningful connections and stand out to future hiring managers (you!).

We know you need interns and employees with a wealth of real-world skills, and now you can rest assured that your Mines hire has the skills you’re looking for. The Oredigger Record of Experience (ORE) is an official extracurricular transcript that gives employers real insights into the skills students have developed outside of the classroom. By validating the experiences and learning that occurs across campus and in our community, Mines can provide the reassurance that your applicants have what it takes to be a perfect fit!
