PWSCC Career Services Center

Welcome to the Career Services webpage at Prince William Sound Community College. Career Services at PWSCC provides resources and strategies for choosing a college major, developing career plans, creating a resume and cover letter, finding internships and full-time jobs, and making successful career transitions.

Career and Job Fairs

Career and job fairs can be an effective way of finding and getting an ‘IN’ with potential employers. The contacts made at career and job fairs can be your key to get your foot in the door, be a great place for career networking, and can help you find out more about a specific company before seeking employment. The Career Services Center at PWSCC coordinates a career and job fair each year with the Valdez Job Center. It is a great opportunity for employers to recruit PWSCC graduates, and for students to network, learn about various companies across the state, meet employers, and apply for job positions or internships.
