CHARLOTTE CAREER DISCOVERY DAY
The Charlotte Career Discovery Day (CCDD) is where more than 100 local businesses and universities share hands-on experiences with 2,000+ students in highly engaging and interactive events.
Business
Why should your business attend CCDD?
Inspire youth and help shape the future workforce!
CCDD is a collaboration between the City of Charlotte and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), with the help of several community stakeholders. More than 2,000 students will visit interactive "industry zones" and explore different career paths.
The more businesses that participate, the more young people can learn about their potential career options. Become a vendor to inspire students and share your line of work!
