A big thank you to the more than 450 people who joined us for the SC Workforce and Manufacturing Summit and helped make it such a success!

It was an exciting few days of conversations focused on the issues shaping South Carolina’s workforce. As part of the week’s events, we were proud to celebrate SCMC member Savannah River Nuclear Solutions for receiving the Workforce Champion Award from Governor McMaster.

Earlier in the week, our SCMC Council of Advisors came together for a productive discussion about what’s ahead for the state and how SCMC can continue delivering for the business community. Thank you to our Council members for your time and perspective!

It has been a great start to September, and we hope you and your family have a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend.
