Campus Greensboro Fellows Program
Connect With the Next Generation of Talent

Forward-thinking employers know the future of their organization depends on the strength of their talent pipeline. But staying connected to next-generation talent can be harder than ever. Students are eager. They’re ambitious. They’re hungry for more. What they often lack is exposure, context, and meaningful connection to local employers early enough to shape their path.

Campus Greensboro exists to bridge that gap.

The Fellows Program enhances your interns’ summer experience with structured professional development, leadership training, and intentional community connection helping students see what’s possible and envision a future right here in Guilford County.

When students gain clarity here, they’re more likely to build here.

What the Fellows Program Adds to Your Internship Experience

The Fellows Program is designed to complement, not complicate, your internship structure.

     We provide:

     Custom Professional Leadership Experience

     A professionally facilitated leadership training that builds confidence, communication skills, and self-awareness, strengthening your intern’s           contribution during the summer and beyond.

     Curated Community & Employer Engagement

     Students engage with leaders and professionals across industries, broadening their understanding of our community’s business landscape.

     Ongoing Professional Development

     Throughout the summer, Fellows participate in structured events that encourage reflection, exploration, and peer connection.

    The result?

Interns return to your organization more confident, more aware of local opportunity, and more invested in the community they’re experiencing.

No-Cost Participation for Eligible Interns

Thanks to the support of community partners, there is no cost to employers whose interns fall within one of the following categories:
