STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
School-To-Career has allowed me to advance in my job while finishing my Senior year. I have advanced from a crew chief to a shift manager while gaining experience for my future in working with people.
School-To-Career has helped me to get one step closer to my nursing degree by taking the CNA class at SCC. And now working as a CNA helps me learn new things and gain experience in a health care setting.
