About Us

WHO WE ARE
Student Career Connection is a regional intermediary for business and education established on May 25, 2008 as a 501c3.

WHAT WE DO
We partner with schools, businesses and communities to prepare students to enter and succeed in the new world of work.

HOW WE DO IT
We provide opportunities where students can discover, explore and prepare for their future careers by connecting them to the world of business through workplace learning experiences.

OUR MOTIVATION
We believe that by investing in students we can secure our country's future. The question isn't what will it cost us? The real question is what will it cost us if we don't? Students that participate in workplace learning experiences are more engaged as learners and more likely to discover and pursue a potential career while in high school. We want to grow our future workforce by helping students be college and career ready when they graduate.
