Career Connection Mentoring

The Charlotte Chamber partners with an industry every year for their mentoring programs. This year, they have selected accounting as their industry of focus and UNC Charlotte has the opportunity to connect 50 students with mentors in the industry. 

The chamber’s mission is to connect, innovate and grow opportunity for all who do business in Charlotte.
