Overview
Peers for Careers is a two-tiered leadership program that prepares students for progressively more advanced leadership roles within the Starr Career Development Center (SCDC), Baruch and their professional lives.
After extensive training and a rigorous selection process, peers are invited to serve as paraprofessional career coaches to students via walk-in and scheduled appointments. Peers also write the weekly Career Corner column for the student newspaper: Ticker, facilitate workshops, and represent the Center at College events.
