Careers at NCDOT: Early Recruitment Programs
It's never too early to begin thinking about and planning for your future career. The transition from school to work requires early course work preparation and selection, career goal setting, and an assessment of your interests and skills. Develop a plan to complete your career goals. Becoming an integral, contributing member of society can be a challenging task that must be met with determination, hard work, commitment and training. The NCDOT employees have an important role in meeting North Carolina's transportation needs and contributing to our good quality of life now and to the future. Our employees feel it's part of their community responsibility to assist students statewide by serving as career role models, partners in schools, classroom speakers and offering job-shadowing opportunities to help plan and prepare for our agency and future employment needs. These programs help students answer questions about "career options and what is required to meet future career goals."
Civil Engineering Awareness Program (CEAP):CEAP was designed to work within the classrooms across North Carolina to increase the number of students interested in a career in the Transportation field or civil engineering. The program is available to teachers and students from kindergarten through high school to explore careers available at NCDOT. Teachers may request NCDOT professionals to participate in a variety of educational activities, classroom presentations, mentoring, job shadowing and career fairs. Summer High School Internship Program (SHIP):SHIP seeks to increase the interest of high school graduates planning to attend a two or four-year college or university in transportation careers, but specifically in civil engineering. SHIP allows students to experience what it's like working in a professional or technical environment and a chance to earn money towards their college education. Students are eligible to participate in SHIP the summer after high school graduation and prior to entering their freshman year of college. Eligible students must have applied to or have been accepted to a two or four-year college offering civil engineering. Model Bridge Building Competition:Middle and high school teachers are invited to give students an opportunity to test their skills in problem-solving strategies, critical thinking, brainstorming, and design while constructing a model truss bridge. The competition goes a step further by requiring students to use their public speaking and presentation skills to compete for a $500 award and bragging rights.
