Pre-Career Fair Volunteering Opportunities

Before the Big Day: Help Tar Heels Get Career Fair-Ready!

Before each career fair, we offer a series of Pre-Fair Volunteering opportunities for employers to directly support UNC students in their career development journey. These events are designed to prepare students for success and give your organization a chance to build brand awareness, forge early connections, and give back to the Carolina community.

What Are Pre-Fair Volunteer Opportunities?

Whether you’re a returning partner or a first-time volunteer, your experience and perspective can help students show up at the fair ready to shine.

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering is more than just a good deed — it’s a smart investment in your future talent pipeline. Here’s how your organization benefits:

  • Give Back to Carolina
    Make a meaningful impact in a low-lift, high-reward way. Our team handles the logistics — you bring the insight.
  • Build Early Connections
    Engage with career-minded Tar Heels before the fair begins and start conversations that can lead to future hires.
  • Boost Your Brand Visibility
    Increase awareness of your organization among students who can amplify your presence by sharing with peers and classmates.
  • Support Career Readiness
    Play a role in making career education accessible and inclusive by supporting students through preparation and practice.

Sign up to volunteer and help students take the first step toward their future — with your support right beside them.
