Peer Career Advisors

PCAs are students trained by the University Career Center to help fellow students with résumés and cover letters, exploring career opportunities for their degree, internship assistance, interview guidance and more. There is a PCA for each college to focus on you specific needs. As students themselves, they can offer perspective having gone through similar experiences. They are available to meet one-on-one or virtually. Email pca@utep.edu to schedule an appointment. 

 PCAs can help you with:

• Résumés and cover letter reviews
• Internship and job searches

The purpose of the Peer Career Advisor (PCA) Program is to provide career exploration, advising, and career development assistance, to students on a peer-to-peer level. Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) are trained to present in a variety of career development topics, to assist with student outreach, and to promote the importance of early and continuous career planning and preparation. The program is a collaborative effort between the University Career Center and the academic colleges.
