The SPACE is divided into five main programs: Prepare, Impact, Launch, Consult, and Explore.</span>

<span style="font-size:15px; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">The Space to Prepare coordinates and runs three main programs at Wofford: Career Services, The Sophomore Experience, and The Institute. The goal of Career Services is to provide professional skills coaching and career strategies development to Wofford students looking to make the most of their opportunities. Career Services aids with resume building, internship and job applications, and interview coaching.</span>

<span style="font-size:15px; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">The Space to Impact is a competitive four-year scholarship program for incoming and current Wofford students that teaches new essential skills like design thinking, entrepreneurship and the consultative approach to problem solving, all through projects-based experience. Impact member projects often address an issue or problem on campus or in the wider world and outline a possible solution. Projects can be something local, like starting a concession stand or organizing a new student group, or it may be something a bit more global, like raising funds to help build a medical clinic in Malawi or benefit earthquake victims in Haiti. The amount of work required is roughly equivalent to taking an extra academic course. The Space to Impact works together with The Space to Launch, discussed below.</span>

<span style="font-size:15px; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">The Space to Launch is another four-year scholarship program for incoming and current Wofford students; the Launch and Impact programs work together to learn the essential skills listed above. The Launch program is oriented around building ideas for businesses and startups, just as The Space to Impact is centered around project development.</span>

<span style="font-size:15px; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">In the Space to Consult, students use their skills to help a company by participating in a team consulting project. The largest benefit of engaging students in consulting projects is the hands on, real-world experience that participants gain; The Space to Consult allows students to use their skills to solve real-world problems in an environment similar to that of the professional world that graduates will be immersed in after college.</span>

<span style="font-size:15px; font-family:Arial; color:#000000; background-color:transparent; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline">The Space to Explore is a program that creates unique internship opportunities for Wofford students. Each year, Explore sets up internships in a different BRICS country (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). The Explore program also sends students as interns to the Aspen Institute.</span>
