Career Peer Advisors

The Career Peer Advisors (CPAs) are a team of student employees, who are trained to provide 1:1 drop-in advising to their peers on the basics of career-related topics. career peer advisors “specialize” or focus in a career community that aligns with their own career interests:

  • Exploration
  • Arts & Arts Administration
  • Marketing, Communication, Journalism & Publishing
  • Accounting, Banking & Finance
  • Management, Operations & Entrepreneurship
  • Tech, Programming, IT & Data Science
  • Government, Advocacy, Policy & Law
  • Education & Human Services
  • Public Health, Health Administration, Medicine
  • Environmental & Sustainability
  • Biotechnology, Scientific Research Engineering
In addition to 1:1 advising, they work to gather resources and interview professionals in their career communities to gain hands-on insight and knowledge in the field(s). Additionally, career peer advisors receive intensive weekly training and professional development throughout the semester to best serve students.

Career peer advisors can advise students from any class year; however, they meet with first and second-year students prior to their first meeting with one of our full-time career advisors in order to help them make the most out of their appointment. They also respond to inquiries and review resumes using the careerpeeradvisors@wheatoncollege.edu email address.
