Nichols College students consistently impress corporate recruiters with how professionally they handle themselves in interviews and how quickly they make a positive impact in the workplace. Although several factors contribute to this level of professionalism, one required program that contributes to this success is our Professional Development Seminar (PDS) program. PDS, a program under the Career and Professional Development Center, is a series of one-credit courses in which students actively practice the tools and skills they need to become successful in a variety of fields.
