Who We Are

Mission

The Center for Career Readiness builds bridges between students and the world of work to ensure that UNC students make informed and empowered decisions regarding continued education and career. We provide a student-driven approach to career education that challenges systematic inequities, invites exploration embedded in identity and values, and fosters collaboration with employers and the campus community.

All UNC students are career ready and empowered to pursue meaningful work.
