Student Job Placement Center

The Monterey Peninsula College Job Center is a full-service employment office providing MPC students opportunities for work experience both on campus and in the community.  The Job Center’s goal is to bring education and employment together so students can develop their educational skills and abilities while gaining valuable experience in the world of work.  Students currently attending MPC, and graduates, will find the Job Center an important resource and an essential link between education and employment.  Job Center staff members work closely with other campus programs and community businesses to provide students with the tools and support they need to successfully find and keep their jobs.
