Peer Career Leaders Program (PCL)

As a Peer Career Leader, you will be gaining:

• Knowledge: Learn about career-related resources, as well as how to put together and conduct a personal career road- map/plan. Not only do you get to help students and/or the Career Center, but you also help yourself in the process! 
• Experience: Opportunity for growth and personal discovery that enables you to develop and sharpen many transferable skills (e.g. leadership, team-building and communication skills) as well as other soft skills that you develop either through hands-on projects and events or trainings.
• Sense of Accomplishment/Achievement: A flexible and open environment to initiate and implement different projects of interest linked to operational needs - this is based on PCL personal initiative!
• Potential Network: Build great relationships with the Career Center team, peers, students, alumni, faculty, business professionals and employers.

At the end of the day, as a PCL you drive your personal achievement from the sense of service satisfaction to the thrill of an event launch and/or a project conceptualization.
