Peer Career Advisors
Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) are trained and supervised paraprofessionals who provide career development assistance on a peer to peer level through UT Career Services. They serve as the initial liaison between students and Career Services and help students in various stages of career planning. PCAs staff our resume walk-in hours, conduct mock interviews, assist with workshops and presentations and help promote all Career Services programs.
