SCC Career Services: From Classroom to Career

Career Services and Smart Jobs educates students in workforce preparation and planning, empowers students to confidently enter the workforce, and connects students and alumni to unmatched career opportunities. At Spartanburg Community College, you can rest assured that you will have access to unrivaled resources and a support system that will help you succeed! We work with you on things like resume templates, job/internship resources, career assessments, interview help, career & salary information, professionalism tips, annual fall and spring career fairs, and on-campus employer visits.

Career Services facilitates the successful transition of students and graduates from the classroom into the world of work by:

  • Maintaining a link between SCC and business and industry partners.
  • Providing services and workshops that address realistic job market issues.
  • Providing job-related counseling to help students prepare resumes, complete job applications, conduct meaningful job searches, prepare for a successful interview, and understand employment responsibilities.
  • Providing information about full-time, part-time, summer, and internship opportunities.
  • Coordinating the Cooperative Education Program, a learning approach that combines academic studies with work experience related to the student's curriculum.

  • The Federal Work Study - also known as FWS or Work Study - program is a federal student aid program which provides part-time jobs for eligible students. There are many opportunities for employment through FWS at SCC, including student services, bookstore, SCC Foundation, and more! Since positions are limited, students should apply as soon as possible. Interested students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year.

    For more information about the FWS program, contact Ladda Koulavongsa in the SCC Financial Aid office.

    We also value your input about your college experience and encourage you to complete the Graduate Exit Survey when you apply for graduation. The survey is confidential and results are only used by appropriate programs/services. (To apply for graduation, visit the SCC Portal and log in to your student account.)

    The best tip? Keep in touch! Let us know how you're doing since you graduated from SCC. This helps us track our graduates' success rate once they leave SCC and adjust programs accordingly. We also will try to help in away way that we can - once a Chaser, always a Chaser.
