Peer Career Advisors are current RPI students trained by Center for Career and Professional Development staff to help undergraduate and graduate students with career topics such as resume and cover letter reviews, basic job search strategies and resources, and other general advice. This student-support initiative has provided a platform for students to foster community and offer career guidance to peers across all majors and academic levels. Students have the option of booking appointments on Handshake and attending drop-in hours with PCAs.
If you have questions about the PCA Program, please contact us at ccpd@rpi.edu.
