Business Bootcamp: Home

The purpose of this guide is to help you locate information about careers and research information about companies. You would use this information to:

• Research possible industries and companies for employment
• Research a company when prepping for a job or internship interview 
• Doing research for a business class 
• Doing research while interning or working in a business or non-profit

When looking up a company, here are some key terms to remember. 

Company structure:

• Headquarters - each company has one and only one - this is where the hiring is done and this is where contracts are written. 
• Subsidiary - is a company owned by another company - you could get a job or internship there as well. 
• Branch - part of a company - a ford factory would be a branch of Ford Motor Company. You might work or intern in a factory but you would apply for that job or internship through the headquarters.
