Career Center

November is National Career Development Month, and the University Career Center is sponsoring programs to encourage students to “Reimagine Life’s Possibilities.”

Throughout the month, the Career Center is holding information sessions, employer site visits, workshops and drop-in opportunities for students that address a wide range of career-related topics designed to encourage planning for the future. Students and alumni can explore public service careers available with the Peace Corps, FBI and various federal and North Carolina government agencies.

The University Career Center for Work, Service and Internships is cosponsoring a “Peace Corps Alumni Panel and Information Session” at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 29, in the College of Health and Human Services, Room 376.

UNC Charlotte alumni will share their experiences about living and working in communities overseas as part of their Peace Corps service, and local recruiter Deborah Buckley will provide information about the advantages of being a Peace Corps volunteer.

More than 90 employers are registered to attend this semester’s Off-campus Job and Internship Fair, which will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 2, in the Barnhardt Student Activity Center.

The University Career Center soon will launch Hire-A-Niner, a new online system with a host of advanced features designed to connect UNC Charlotte students and alumni with employers. 

The University Career Center’s annual Majors Day, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 17, is an opportunity for students to explore all of their academic options, including majors, minors, concentrations and certificates.
Representatives from all of the University’s colleges and departments will be at Majors Day to talk with students about their respective programs. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Cone University Center Lucas Room.
