S.C. Swiderski has embarked on a partnership with Samoset Council, B.S.A. to help young people decide on their future careers. We’re providing an opportunity for seven area high school students to explore what it is we do here at SCS via a monthly program designed specifically around their interests.
At our initial Orientation meeting on November 5th we had the pleasure of getting to know the students to determine what areas of the company they would like to learn more about. Each student filled out a questionnaire selecting the topics they’re most interested in. All seven of these bright-minded individuals indicated their eagerness to learn about nearly every aspect of our company – Business Development, Marketing, Graphic Design, Architecture, Property Management, Maintenance, Real Estate and Project Management! This program will incorporate a hands-on approach to learning by taking the students to walk land, visiting a construction site and allowing them to design a site plan, just to name a few. For the Grand Finale we’ll be hosting a Graduation ceremony for the students and their parents on May 5th at Urban West!
December 3rd was our first Explorers meeting where we delved into the world of Business Development. The students learned how we assess cities and their housing needs by analyzing vacancy rates, rent rates, and populations. They also learned about the leasing side of Business Development and how much research and networking goes into attracting potential renters, as well as how we maintain those relationships.
A special thank you the SCS employees from each of these departments who are willing to take the time to engage these students and show them what a typical day is like in their respective fields. Maybe one of these go-getters will be working for S.C. Swiderski someday!
