About
The Event

This event is not about job placement but rather career exploration!
Each year PCF Scholars have the opportunity to VIRTUALLY meet with professionals from a variety of industries to explore fields and professions that they may not have been exposed to or considered before.

Illuminating Pathways
Our event isn't about job placements; it's all about exploring career paths! Every year, PCF Scholars have the chance to virtually connect with professionals from various industries, discovering fields and professions they might not have considered before.

Our Invitation to You
If you're a business professional, we warmly invite you to participate in this event. By sharing insights into career paths and workforce readiness, you can help broaden our scholars' understanding of the workplace and the range of career options available to them. Your conversations can truly be life-changing for the first-generation college scholars you'll meet, supporting their journey to find fulfilling careers after college.

Tips
for Support

  • Be aware of your body language – remember to welcome the scholar in a friendly, yet professional manner as this can set the tone for the whole interview.
  • Feel free to get down to business – some students may find the small talk in the beginning of the interview intimidating. You can help them by asking “So, what did you want to learn today?”
  • Some scholars may forget how to begin the interview – if you notice this, you can help them out by introducing yourself and providing some background information about your profession.
  • A teaching moment – You may feel inclined to coach the scholar on what to say. Instead, if you notice they appear rushed or flustered, remind them to take their time. You can always offer to return to a question later if you think they are having difficulties in presenting themself.
