South Carolina’s Western region has a long tradition of highly technical and technologically advanced jobs – from the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site, to some of America’s most quality conscious manufacturers.
Maintaining this tradition demands a highly skilled workforce trained to evolve with the rapid technological advances in the workplace. 因此, we continue to place an emphasis on developing the workers that the business and industrial community needs.
