Experiential Education Spotlights
At Providence College, career preparation is built into your experience from day one. Through the Chirico Career Center, students have access to one-on-one career coaching to support their internship search, explore career paths, and build confidence in their professional journey.
We offer a wide range of programs and events that connect students with employers, including our Fall and Spring Career EXPOs, Snacks with Students, Industry Panels, Career Treks and the Alumni Shadowing Program. These experiences help students build meaningful connections and gain real-world insights.
