“What I love most about working at SEO is knowing that the work we do truly changes our students’ lives. It feels good to be part of something that matters and to work with people who care just as much!”
Chevon SEO People & Culture
“I have the pleasure of working with some of SEO Career’s most passionate, committed, and longstanding partners that support our participants each year. Carrying forward SEO’s mission and legacy in partnership with these firms is incredibly rewarding, and I often think of how Michael Osheowitz started SEO with a passionate network of partners. That history, and the ability to build on it, is something I have deep respect for, as well as the incredible people that SEO attracts because of what Michael Osheowitz started over 60 years ago.”
