Student Engagement Opportunities
Student Organizations & Clubs
At UNC Chapel Hill, employers and alumni can connect with over 800 student organizations for career exploration, development, and recruitment. These connections help prepare students for the workforce and expand their professional networks. The Heel Life database allows users to browse active student organizations, tailored by category, to find potential connections. Our office helps facilitate interactions between student orgs and employers, including on-campus events, internships, and mentorship programs.
Career Treks
Career Treks are company site visits that provide an opportunity for students to explore industries and job functions, while growing their professional network for future career opportunities. Students can learn about entry-level roles within a company, network with recruiters and alumni, explore company facilities of all industries and sizes, and uncover what next steps they should take in their career preparation journey.
Mock Interview Program
Engage in mock interviews with UNC students to provide constructive feedback. These sessions gather employers from various industries and sizes to simulate interviews with students, where you'll pose standard questions and offer valuable feedback for their future improvement. Your interview room will be located at Hanes Hall in the UCS office.
Case Competition
Every semester, University Career Services hosts a dynamic Case Competition, and we are actively seeking employer partners to participate. This is a prime opportunity to engage with talented students, showcase your brand, and contribute to their educational experience. The business case topic can be on any subject, if it is accessible to all majors.
