Peer Career Advisors

USC Dornsife Career Pathways’ Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) provide peer-to-peer support to encourage career readiness in USC Dornsife students.  PCAs volunteer their time, virtually and in-person, to lead marketing efforts, engage with high-profile alumni, advise Dornsife students on a variety of career topics, and support Career Pathways with programming efforts.

PCAs participate in weekly personal and professional development sessions, receive training across relevant topics including resume writing, networking, LinkedIn usage, job/ internship research, data analysis and more.  The PCA program provides students the opportunity to grow as professionals, leaders, and mentors within the Trojan community.

Want to be a PCA?

Students interested in serving as a PCA must have Freshman, Sophomore or Junior class standing and major (or minoring) in USC Dornsife. Contact Kristine Anassian for more information.
