Alumni Partnership

Picture of Students from PC in Hollywood

Help our future alumni explore opportunities, gain experience, and launch their careers! The Chirico Career Center invites alumni to partner with us to help Providence College students prepare for, and achieve career success. We offer a variety of ways for you to give back by providing meaningful ways to connect with students. Below are ways you can partner with us to help students GET HIRED!

Support A Fellow Friar

We know not every alumnus is in a position to Hire a Friar, that doesn’t mean you can’t support their career journey. By sharing career advice, providing feedback on a resume, or referring a student to your HR department, you can help to open the door to opportunities.

Post an Internship or Entry-Level Job

Handshake is our database of internships and jobs that current students and alumni can search when looking for new opportunities. If your organization is not already connected to PC, you will need to register in Handshake, and once your organization is approved, you will then be able to post opportunities.

For assistance with Handshake, please contact Victoria Lally, Associate Director for Alumni and Employer Engagement.

Share Career Information & Advice

Be a resource to current students as a member of FriarLink, our alumni-student career network. Join the hundreds of alumni that have volunteered to help PC students with their career development by sharing career information and advice. To join, visit FriarLink and create your profile.

Participate in the Alumni Job Shadowing Program

Shadowing provides students with an opportunity to observe alumni in their work setting for a day. Alumni from all industries and professions are welcome to participate. A typical shadow day could involve sitting in on meetings, touring the workplace, networking with colleagues, and gaining insights of the industry.

The Alumni Job Shadowing Host form is now open! All submissions received before December 8 will be considered.

Be Part of a Career Program, Event, or PCBiz Basics

Career panels and events educate and inform students about various careers and industries. In addition to learning about possible career paths, students are able to build their Friar network by connecting with alumni. If you are interested in volunteering for a future panel or event, email Victoria Lally to be added to our alumni resource list.

PCBiz Basics are a series of workshops in which alumni and PC faculty discuss a particular industry and the types of careers and skills needed to be successful in that field. The goal is to expose students to various industries so they can take the appropriate tracks for their interest/industry as they move forward in their education and prepare for their eventual career. For interest in participating in PCBiz Basics, email Susan Riley.
