Career Services

When Deacon Mike Carbo, Benedictine Military School Class of 1976, joined BC’s Student Services Office to spearhead BC's Career Services in November 2022, his objective was to give back to his alma mater by helping Cadets explore and experience various potential jobs and careers.

Carbo came to Benedictine after a 30-plus-year career as the co-owner/founder of Electrical Equipment Upgrading (EEU), an electrical engineering firm. As a business owner, Carbo oversaw all aspects of business operations as he led a team of 24 people and managed a 25,000-square-foot facility. Prior to his retirement in October 2022, Carbo was involved in every facet of EEU’s business operations. He also served 34 years in the Georgia Air National Guard until retiring in 2014.

At Benedictine, Carbo is working to build rapport with businesses in Savannah and surrounding areas that offer internship, co-op, or other work pathways to create opportunities for Cadets to explore and experience various potential jobs/careers. He talks with Cadets about their career interests and connects them with opportunities that explore those interests and college career pathways. He brings guest speakers to BC to talk with Cadets about career opportunities in various trades, both professional and vocational. He also works closely with BC’s Student Services Office to ensure opportunities are available for all Cadets who want them, and to identify Cadets who would benefit from alternate plans of higher education (technical schools/trade schools).
