Have you ever asked yourself one of the following questions:
- What is my role exactly and what does success look like in it?
- What other job opportunities are available here and how can I prepare for them?
- Is there anyone that really cares about my career and is willing to help?
- Will I be better off, long-term, for having taken this job?
You’re not alone! At some point, we’ve all had these questions for ourselves, and we know it can feel discouraging, demoralizing, and disappointing.
At SWCA we’re tackling the workplace existential crisis head-on! We feel we have an obligation to provide our employees with a developmental environment and experience that will prove beneficial throughout your entire career – whether you’re at SWCA for 3 years or 30!
We never settle and neither should you.
Career Landscape
At SWCA, we encourage employees to explore their interests. It’s why we created the SWCA Career Landscape, a career development program designed to help employees chart their unique paths for rewarding careers at SWCA. In its first year, our program was awarded first place in Zweig Group’s Marketing Excellence Awards. The SWCA Career Landscape creates a vivid and accessible picture of what success looks like at SWCA, whether you’re joining us for your first job or you’ve been working for 30 years.
At SWCA, it isn’t one size fits all. We recognize that each person has unique career aspirations. Every employee has the opportunity to reflect on those career goals and identify the steps needed to get them where they want to be. SWCA’s Career Landscape provides resources for creating a professional development plan and a framework for working with leadership to put the plan into action.
Science Leadership Program
SWCA’s Science Leadership Program (SLP) was designed by scientists for scientists. It was created to encourage employees in scientific growth and to provide a forum for employees at every level to share their knowledge and exchange ideas.
In addition, we also offer incentives and bonuses to employees who publish articles and other work related to their scientific or technical disciplines.
