Federal Work-Study (FWS) is a need-based program. Eligible students who are receiving financial aid through FAFSA will be offered a Federal Work-Study option as part of their financial aid package. FWS students who wish to take advantage of this benefit must be proactive in seeking FWS employment on campus in order to earn up to the amount of FWS award they accept. As with all student jobs, there is no guarantee of employment but Internships & Career Services staff are available to help you apply and prepare for interviews.
Student Help positions are open to any student in good standing, whether or not they qualify for FAFSA. There is no guarantee of employment but Internships & Career Services staff are available to help you apply and prepare for interviews.

Job Preparation and Planning
It's completely normal to be undecided on your career path. If you're not sure what you want to do, try using career exploration tools to narrow your search.
Cost: Free to SCC students.
PathwayU, SCC's online career exploration application, connects students with their greatest sense of purpose as they make choices for education, career, and employment. It's a great way for future and current students to begin exploring careers!
PathwayU is not a skills, abilities or simple interest inventory. It is a platform with a predictive algorithm guiding students through career exploration and employment pathway options where they'll potentially find the greatest sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. This helps to improve student success and enables students to better map their educational journey.
Cost: Free to SCC students.
