The Peer Career Coach program 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 review, LinkedIn network building, Handshake, and other professional advice through walk-in advising.
Drop In Hours: The PCCs conduct drop in hours Monday through Friday from 12:30–3:30 p.m. both virtually and in person. Drop ins can be found online at go.iit.edu/career OR in person in MTCC 106.

“Your career development process starts on day one of becoming a college student. Being a good student in the classroom is one side of being a successful college student. You need to be able to market and brand yourself to the companies/jobs you want. Career Services is here to assist you on every step of your career development process.”

“As a Peer Career Coach, I strongly believe in the mantra that one can never stop learning, both personally and professionally. By embracing this philosophy, I strive to create a supportive environment where my peers feel empowered to continually grow, adapt, and thrive in their chosen fields.”
