Career information for parents
Like you, we want your student to succeed. However, we want that success to outlast the duration of his or her time at Franklin Pierce. Career Services supports Pierce students and alumni for life, and the office also supports the businesses and employers looking to hire them. We’re happy to have parents involved in the process and we invite you to learn more below, welcome you to reach out with any questions, and encourage you to join the Parents’ Association to stay involved.
