Higher Levels Partners with University of South Carolina

Our students graduate with strong technical foundations but limited exposure to customer-facing or revenue-driving career paths. We needed a partner who could bring real-world experience to campus and show engineers how their skill set translates into high-performance roles. Higher Levels stood out because their expertise comes directly from the front lines of modern tech. Their team has placed new reps at every major technology company in the world and continues to train and support top performers at those organizations. Combined with Eric Finch’s experience as an engineer turned enterprise AE, they brought a level of credibility and clarity our students do not get through traditional career resources.

The session was interactive and action focused. Students learned how to identify target companies, connect with hiring managers, and position their technical background in business conversations. They practiced real outreach, gained clarity on SDR, AE, and Sales Engineering roles, and saw how AI is reshaping modern go-to-market teams. Most importantly, they walked away understanding how to differentiate themselves far beyond a resume or career fair. For many, it was the first time they saw that technical aptitude paired with communication can open doors to high-growth, high-earning career paths.

Bring them in. Higher Levels provides practical, insider-level training that students rarely receive in academic settings. Their frameworks, exercises, and modern perspective prepare students to perform in today’s competitive job market, not last decade’s. If your goal is to equip students with real professional skills, confidence, and a clear path into high-growth roles, Higher Levels is a partner we strongly recommend.
