A career is one of the most important decisions of your life--so now is the time to evaluate your alternatives. The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) has student trainee positions available for meat graders and market news reporters.

Meat Graders perform grading and certification services in facilities where beef, lamb, veal, and calves are slaughtered, chilled, stored, and processed.

Market News Reporters collect, analyze, and disseminate market information for livestock, meat, wool, grain by covering direct sales, auctions, and terminal markets.

Students in the SCEP can gain invaluable career experience while earning money for their education. Students receive hands-on training while in the SCEP. After graduation, students who have completed the SCEP do not have to compete with others to obtain full-time employment as a meat grader or market news reporter. In addition, they may be eligible to receive reimbursement for tuition, books, and incidental educational-related expenses.
