Meet Ups
These 30-45 minute sessions typically consist of 15-20 minutes of content, 10 minutes about your organization, and 10-15 minutes of Q+A. We offer two options: Industry/Employer-Led and Career. Meet-Ups are marketed to various groups of students to learn about your organization, industry, and the professional development topic on which you will be presenting. Our students indicate that meet ups done virtually, is their preferred format.
Interested in leading a Meet Up or "taking over" a Career Meet Up with one of our Career Coaches? Reach out to the Employer Engagement team at recruit@charlotte.edu.

On-Campus Recruiting
On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) is an effective way to create a strong presence on campus, while interviewing top UNC Charlotte talent. Our team can manage your schedule through a “preselect” scheduling option or you can manage your own schedule through a “room reservation only” scheduling option. To reserve your preferred date(s), please do so through your Hire-A-Niner account.
Recruiting Tables
A recruiting table is a great way to build your brand at UNC Charlotte, while you promote and recruit to fill opportunities at your organization. To reserve your preferred date(s), please do so through your Hire-A-Niner account.
Information Sessions
It is time to relate instead of recite. Maybe think about shelving the slide presentation and talk with the candidates about the essential skills you are looking for and those needed for success in your organization. This is a great format to engage with potential candidates in meaningful conversations about your open opportunities in Hire-A-Niner
Any of these are great starting points for your Information Session: Is there a current hire that can speak of their experience? What post-hire professional development can assist a candidate to grow in your organization? Is there software/technology associated with your current available opportunities? Where is your organization in relation to DEI initiatives?
To request an information session to talk with students, please do so through your Hire-A-Niner account. Select “Request New Recruiting Event” under “Quick Links” and choose “Information Session.”

Micro-Internships
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte partners with Parker Dewey to provide an innovative way for employers to connect with our highly-motivated students and recent grads. Micro-Internships are short-term, paid professional projects designed to serve as a bridge to future employment opportunities. These short-term projects create equitable access to professional careers and are similar to those projects given to new hires or interns.
Whether you're in need of on-demand project support, looking for a win-win to connect with students from your alma mater, or looking for ways to get work done with an ever-growing to-do list, Micro-Internships are a valuable tool. Students from all majors can execute professional assignments to build and demonstrate skills while exploring a variety of career paths through micro-internships.
These projects enable our students to demonstrate skills, explore career paths, and build their networks as they seek the right full-time role. Unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and are due between one week and one month after kick-off. A large percentage of the micro-internships are virtual.
