Employer Partnership FAQs

1. What kind of candidates will I find at PCC?

PCC serves a diverse student population that includes recent high school graduates, adult learners, military veterans, and career changers. Our students and alumni are at different stages of their education and careers, which means employers can connect with candidates seeking part-time roles, full-time positions, internships, or longer-term career opportunities.

Students pursue programs across Healthcare, IT, Business, Skilled Trades, Public Safety, and many other fields, bringing a mix of technical skills, real-world experience, and strong motivation to grow with an organization.

2. How can I engage with PCC beyond posting jobs?

Employers can connect with PCC students in a variety of meaningful ways, based on their hiring goals and level of engagement. Opportunities include participating in hiring events, hosting information sessions, leading professional development workshops, serving on advisory committees, or joining campus initiatives such as Workforce Wednesday and industry-focused job fairs.

For employers seeking deeper or more strategic engagement, EECS also offers tiered employer partnership options. These partnerships provide additional visibility, customized outreach opportunities, and enhanced support based on your organization’s needs. Our team can help you determine which level of engagement makes the most sense for you.

3. I’m interested in starting an internship or work-based learning program. Where do I begin?

Our team can help guide you through the process. EECS supports employers in designing, posting, and managing internships and other work-based learning opportunities, ensuring alignment with college guidelines and applicable compliance requirements.

4. What is expected of me as an employer partner?

Our partnerships are built around connection and shared benefit. EECS works to connect employers and PCC students in multiple ways, not just through job postings. We connect employers and students through job postings, events, classroom engagement, and other outreach opportunities, helping bring real-world exposure and information to students while giving employers access to PCC’s diverse student and alumni talent.

We ask employers to share genuine opportunities and engage with students thoughtfully. While feedback or hiring outcomes are always welcome, our primary goal is creating meaningful connections that support both student success and employer hiring needs.

5. Who should I contact if I need help or have questions?

The Employer Engagement and Career Services team is here to help. Whether you need technical support, guidance on posting opportunities, or help planning targeted outreach, you can reach us at careerservices@pima.edu or by calling 520.206.4820.
