The program begins May 28 and wraps up Aug. 2.
The summer internship program offers graduate and undergraduate students work experiences with NCDOT, providing insight into transportation industry careers. The internship features professional development workshops covering resume building, business writing, networking and other essential skills.
Candidates for the fellows program must have earned a bachelor’s or master’s degree from a North Carolina HBCU or MSI within the past three years. Fellows will commit to a two-year term within a designated business unit to support daily operations and special initiatives.
Fellows are classified as temporary, full-time NCDOT employees and they contribute to a talent pool for potential permanent positions with NCDOT and the transportation industry.
The NCDOT HBCU Initiatives and Programs provides opportunities and paths for HBCU and minority serving institutions and prepares HBCU/MSI students and alumni for careers in the transportation sector.
