About the Career Hub 

The Career Hub at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill launched in 2024 under the leadership of James Barricelli, the University’s inaugural assistant vice chancellor for career development and the executive director of University Career Services.  

An initiative of the chancellor, the Career Hub is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, employers, and faculty and staff in the Carolina community to connect and engage with many career-related resources at the University. The Career Hub is a gateway to tailored resources and opportunities for our Carolina community.

The Career Hub helps our community find the best resources for their unique interests. It encompasses University Career Services, in addition to the myriad centers, units, and programs available to our students.
