Hosted by the Center for Global Engagement, the Career Connections with Global Industry project is an annual career development event designed to offer UNG students a comprehensive understanding of global career opportunities within North Georgia.
Each year, a specific country and its associated global industry are highlighted, selected based on UNG's strategic partnerships for exchange, research, and international enrollment. The event serves as a platform to showcase the diverse career pathways available to UNG students, bridging the gap between local and global employment prospects. Highlights of the event include an industry expert panel, informative sessions on the featured country and its culture, and a career fair connecting students with potential employers.
This unique annual event serves as a nexus, bringing together academic programs, local industry partners, career services, and students to explore how specific industries contribute to the economic development of our communities and offer career pathways for alumni.
Your generous contributions will play a crucial role in providing logistical support for the event, including funding for marketing efforts, hosting guest speakers, and organizing cultural entertainment and food. Your support ensures that we can continue offering UNG students this invaluable opportunity to learn about the symbiotic relationship between their local communities and global industry.
