PCAs earn real-world experience by partnering with their local Pearson team on campus through digital presentations, sales calls, and technology registration tables.

At Pearson, the student's voice matters! PCAs help shape Pearson products by providing valuable feedback through focus groups, surveys, and other projects. PCAs create content for our global brand across major social media platforms to engage students on your campus and beyond.

We offer a pay rate of $10.00 per hour, with an average work schedule of 5-10 hours per week.

Additionally, you will receive complimentary Pearson Higher Ed materials, including Pearson+ and access codes for MyLab, Mastering, and REVEL.

You will also be eligible for accrued paid sick time in accordance with company policy. Please refer to the Sick Leave Policy for details.
