The University Career Center has developed a number of career presentations to support the professional development of our students in both the classroom and student organization settings. Presentations can be requested by faculty or student organization leaders through the form below and can be 30-90 minutes in length depending on the topic. Request a presentation as soon as possible, since presentation slots fill up fast!
To maximize our ability to meet the needs of the whole UNC Charlotte campus:
- You can request up to two (2) presentations per class/student group per semester
- Requests for a Career Center Staff to present to your students must be made 2 weeks or more in advance of the presentation date
- Requests for an Employer to present to your students must be made 2 months or more in advance of the presentation date

- Assessment presentations (CliftonStrengths and MBTI) are limited and currently only offered for courses with less than 50 enrolled students. Faculty may select one of the two assessments for their course, pending availability. If you’d like to discuss the presentation outcomes and how they may align with your goals for your course, please connect with Jessie Simonik to schedule a brief consultation.
