SCS Explorer’s Blog
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!
Thankful Everyday
Here at SC Swiderski, we truly are thankful not only this holiday season, but every day. Part of being thankful for us means giving back. This coming Tuesday, December 3rd we’re taking part in #GivingTuesday through our partnership with Samoset Council, BSA. This organization is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of youth in our communities by serving over 6,000 youth in North-Central Wisconsin. They provide programs for young people that build character and prepare them for life. SCS is proudly sponsoring this campaign by matching the first $1,000 in donations. Please consider visiting www.samoset.org and making a donation.
Another amazing partnership we have with Samoset Council is the SCS Explorer program. This is a monthly program where high school students are able to learn about future careers by learning first hand what we do here at SCS. Each class is chosen based on their specific interests and taught by an SCS employee.
When we work together we can make a huge difference in the lives of those who need us most.
