The Peer Career Coach program at Illinois Institute of Technology Career Services is comprised of a group of student leaders dedicated to serving their peers through the career development process, working alongside full-time staff in the Career Services office. Peer Career Coaches (PCCs) are responsible for providing peers with résumé, cover letter, LinkedIn, Jobs4Hawks, and other professional advice through walk-in advising. They will conduct individual and small group appointments at various locations and hours around campus. Peer Career Coaches will also support the operations of the Career Services office in Hermann Hall, Room 113, which includes staffing reception, entering data, and reviewing online documents.
Students meeting with Peer Career Coaches will experience the same level of professionalism as Career Development Coaches, but with the added benefit of gaining a student perspective on career and job search strategies.
