The program includes a mix of professional development, networking, and community exploration. Examples include a kickoff orientation, lunch & learn with industry leaders, a social experience in one of Charlotte’s go-to spots for young professionals, an executive speaker chat, and a final networking celebration.

Interns are encouraged to attend as many events as possible to get the full experience, but attendance at every event is not required.
