Employer Partnership FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MyCareerLink FAQs

Do I have to create another account or remember another password?

No. MyCareerLink uses PCC Single Sign-On. If you are already signed in to MyPima, there’s no need to create another username or password.

How can I job search while working or between classes?

You can search for jobs and set job alerts using either the web version or the mobile app. Alerts notify you when new opportunities match your profile, so you can stay updated even when you’re short on time.

Are these the same jobs I see on large job boards?

Some opportunities may overlap, but MyCareerLink also includes roles from employers specifically seeking PCC students, including positions that are not posted elsewhere.

Can I apply from my phone?

In many cases, yes. Depending on the employer, you may apply directly through MyCareerLink or be routed to an employer’s application site, most of which are mobile-friendly. Having a PDF version of your resume saved on your phone can make applying much easier.

How do I know if a job is a good fit for me?

Your profile helps surface opportunities based on your program, skills, and preferences, so you can focus on roles that align with your background and current goals. You can also use filters like position type, schedule, and work-based learning options to find roles that fit your current needs.

Is my personal information private?

Yes. You control your profile visibility and can choose whether your resume is searchable by employers. Your information is handled in accordance with PCC privacy and student records guidelines, and you decide what employers can see.

Can I find internships or flexible roles that fit a busy schedule?

Yes. Employers are encouraged to post a wide range of opportunities in MyCareerLink, including internships, part-time, entry-level, and professional career positions. You can use filters like position type and work-based learning options to find roles that align with your availability and goals.
