What this event is
CCI's Tech Connect runs Thursday, September 24 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM in the Cone Center Lucas Room. Students get face time with professionals in tech roles to explore internships, entry-level jobs and career paths. It is open to all tech-related majors; RSVP and the employer list are on Niner Engage.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
UNC Charlotte computing, data and IT students hunting for internships or first jobs.
Drop in for even 30 minutes; the mid-day slot means less competition than the Friday fair. Ask professionals which Charlotte teams are hiring juniors, then use that intel at the next day's Fall Career Fair. Bank tech teams in Charlotte do sponsor, but many internal-tools roles at smaller shops do not, so ask early. Get names for LinkedIn follow-ups.
Show up prepared
- 1RSVP on Niner Engage and check the attending employer list
- 2Bring 10 resumes and a project you can demo on your phone
- 3Ask each professional which teams are hiring for 2027 starts
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
