Workshop topics we cover include tips on job searching, resume writing, interviewing, how to prepare for job fairs, and more!  Events we offer include employer information sessions where recruiters present information about their company, employment opportunities, and the hiring process. We also offer Noncredit Career and Job Services Info Sessions to introduce our team and provide information about our services.

Noncredit students are also able to access career services and register for workshops offered through the PCC Freeman Center for Career & Completion (on the PCC Colorado Campus).
