“The Virtual Career Expo creates opportunities for jobseekers to make one-on-one connections with state recruiters to discuss rewarding career opportunities available in state government,” said Barbara Gibson, State Human Resources Director. “This format gives us great flexibility, allowing individuals to learn about the mission-critical positions that are available across North Carolina.”

The virtual event is open to all individuals interested in working with state agencies or the UNC System.

The State of North Carolina is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, and we encourage transitioning military personnel, veterans, and military spouses, as well as those with disabilities to explore job opportunities.
