What is Student Career Days?

Student Career Days is an annual three-day competition and networking event for students enrolled in interior and exterior horticulture programs at 2- and 4-year colleges and universities from across the country. Each year, a different host location is selected, which gives the participants a chance to see different parts of the country and it also increases the difficulty level for some of the outdoor competitions, depending on the weather! For information on how Student Career Days got it's start, go to Student Career Days History.

There are three key elements for students to participate in at Student Career Days:

1. Educational Sessions and Workshops:

The leaders in the green industry will be presenting workshops and SCD Tech sessions for students and faculty on topics you might not otherwise have the chance to learn about. By participating in the workshops, SCD Tech Sessions, and the tour, you will be exposed to the latest information available on topics such as irrigation, arboriculture, estimating, and leadership skills.

2. Attend the Largest Career Fair in the Industry:

We have nearly 100 companies from all over the country participating in our Career Fair! They are all looking for qualified employees for full-time positions and internships. Students and faculty should take this opportunity to meet as many companies as possible, and make those all important connections. Students should come prepared with résumés and be ready to interview on the spot.

3. Compete Against Your Peers in 25 Events:

Student Career Days features a series of competitive events designed to challenge students based on current industry standards. Each competition is coordinated by green industry companies -- they design the competition, they set it up, and they judge it -- so the competitions are as true-to-life as it gets. See how you compare amongst students from across the country!
