PCEC Programs & Services

The Education Council partners with many local organizations and businesses to provide Elementary School Programs and Services for students in McKean and Potter Counties.


CareerMentorLogoThe PCEC Career Mentor Program currently serves 10 school districts in McKean and Potter Counties. Our Career Mentors assist school counselors with career activities for grades K-12.

The purpose of the Career Mentor Program is to provide information and resources to parents and students of both public and private schools of Potter and McKean Counties, to establish career paths and connections before the students exit from school and to track their progress for the first five years after leaving school.
