Working for Everyone: Careers in Government and Public Administration
As our nation faces increasingly complex challenges, America needs the best and brightest working on its behalf. From city hall to the

Capitol of South Carolina, the Army colonel to the elected President of the United States, government and public administration jobs are

filled by people who are dedicated to helping ensure that our modern democracy with all its complexities works for everyone. From

medicine to the military, agriculture to aeronautics, office administration and information technology, nearly every area of employment can

be found in government and public administration.

specific office and administrative skills to two-year institutions, such as Midlands
Technical College and to four-year colleges, such as the University of South Carolina.

Public servants endeavor to provide critical services including disease prevention, public safety and security, education,
transportation, veterans care, national defense, clean water, waste management, environmental protection, airline safety, disaster
