Our Pearson Campus Ambassadors (PCAs) gain real world experience by collaborating with product and marketing teams, working on a virtual team, and developing professional communication skills.

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