A Summer Jobs and Internships Fair is held each year to provide students with information regarding summer employment and internship opportunities. In cooperation with other departments, the Office of Career Services annually sponsors two special career days on campus. Each fall, representatives of businesses, industries, and government agencies visit PC for a Career Fair during which students may receive information on the career of their choice, as well as employment opportunities within the respective companies and agencies. Individual referrals are made when appropriate. Also, Teacher Recruitment Day is held each spring to give education majors the opportunity to interview with representatives from school districts in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.
Many students are anxious about job interviews.
Upon request, the Office of Career Services will arrange a mock interview for students with a professional from the community. Many students plan to continue their education once they leave PC, and the Office of Career Services may again be of service. Information about advanced studies in various fields is available to students. PC graduates who have elected to continue their studies have done so at such institutions as Harvard Law School, William and Mary, Cornell, Georgia Tech, Princeton, Columbia and Union Seminaries, Medical University of South Carolina, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt, and Radford. Several students have been awarded scholarships, awards, and assistantships to help pay for their continuing education.
