Through the Department of Computer Science group on Heels Engage, members can share job opportunities, seek career support, mentor others, or seek mentorship, as well as share stories, accomplishments, and current professional endeavors.

There are a few noteworthy features found on the UNC CS Career Network. The “Jobs and Projects from Network Members” feature allows members to post job opportunities at their place of employment, as well as announce projects for which they are seeking collaborators. The “Career Paths” feature assists members in exploring recommended career paths based on profile information, as well as connecting with other UNC CS Career Network members currently employed in similar roles. While this is not a mentorship program or formal recruiting tool, using these features to establish commonalities allows members to connect to share their professional journey.

“The UNC CS Career Network is the perfect place to connect our outstanding alumni with current UNC Computer Science students. Now more than ever, alumni expertise and insight are needed, and students are eager to learn how to pave the path toward a successful career in tech,” shared Stephanie Johnson, Director of Career Services at UNC Computer Science.

UNC CS Career Network expands the UNC Computer Science network. Establishing this online community will provide an opportunity to create valuable professional relationships, and simply learn more about others. UNC Computer Science is committed to providing creative, innovative, and useful tools for our Alumni and other members to have at hand. Student and alumni can look for shared career interests and/or goals with each other and connect directly with specific questions about their professional journey.
