Economic development isn’t just a career—it’s an opportunity to apply your experience in a way that directly impacts communities and shapes the future of North Carolina. Our new flyer is designed for professionals who may be considering a transition into economic development.

Economic development is more than a career—it’s a chance to shape communities and create lasting impact. Our new student focused flyer highlights what a path in economic development can look like! Share it with students you know!
