  • The workshops sound like a great opportunity; however, how is a student who attends Wednesday evening classes, such as myself, supposed to benefit if we cannot attend?

  • Hi Te`me`, thanks for your question! Unfortunately there will always be circumstances when schedules conflict, but if there is a particular workshop you are interested in, I encourage you to contact Career Development Services at 888.GO.PEIRCE, ext. 9202, or CDS@peirce.edu to make an appointment with a counselor for a one-on-one session. I hope that helps! If you have additional questions, please feel free to stop by or contact me directly.

  • I have made my appointment with Career Development Services to do one on one since I am unable to make the workshops. Thank you so much!
