Career Forum at SCF Focuses on Students’ Success

Representatives from local companies presented stories of student interns and employees who stood out in the workplace.

The Career Resource Center at State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (SCF) gave students an opportunity to explore their futures during a Career Forum at SCF Venice Oct. 18. Representatives from local companies presented stories of student interns and employees who stood out in the workplace and offered tips on finding a career that matters to them.

Businesses and agencies included the Braves spring training facility, Kerkering Barberio Group, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, SKY Family YMCA, Suncoast Business Technologies and Venice Regional Bayfront Health. Nearly 50 students attended the event concentrated on career readiness competencies developed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Most of the students recognized the importance of internships and took time to network with representatives after their presentations.
