In addition to providing group workshops to students in each academic program on writing an effective CV, personal statement, and cover letter, individualized support is also available.

With the variety of career path options available to graduates of PCOM's academic programs, students often request guidance in developing a personalized career search plan. Appointments are available during the day and in the evening to meet this need.
Work Study Programs
Each academic year, more than 150 students participate in the PCOM Work Study program. Students looking to reduce their financial loans and earn money are eligible to work up to 20 hours per week in a variety of PCOM offices. Work study information sessions are held at the start of the first term each academic year.
