3. Recruiting Events

Meet the Firms & Business Expo on NC State Campus

Each fall, the Meet the Firms & Business Expo event connects Jenkins MAC students with over 30 organizations for networking and career discussions. The event sets the stage for forthcoming campus interviews later in fall and spring.

Tour of Cities: Charlotte, Washington D.C. and Atlanta

The summer before starting the Jenkins MAC Program, full-time MAC students can participate in the Tour of Cities, where they will visit key southeastern cities like Charlotte, Washington D.C. and Atlanta for career exposure. These tours include employer visits (both large and small, local firms) and alumni socials for valuable networking.

“The Tour of Cities put me ahead when it came to the interview process. I was able to meet and develop relationships with people here at Deloitte, and then as I went through the interview process, it was less stressful.”
