Economic prosperity and a high quality of life continue to be the focus of our state’s leaders and the SC Technical College System shares these same goals.
Providing an accessible and affordable higher education is a core value of the System. While a technical college education remains one of the most economical higher education opportunities, the System’s efforts around accessibility are much more far reaching. Access is provided to urban and rural citizens alike with nearly all South Carolinians within a 30 minute drive of one of our main or satellite campuses.
Through the SC Technical College System, both traditional and non-traditional students are educated and trained for in-demand positions. What's more, 96 percent of students enrolled in the SC Technical College System are South Carolina residents - state citizens who recognize the value of a technical college education and quickly find gainful employment in a variety of industries and services upon graduation. And with 85 percent of its students remaining in state upon graduation the SC Technical College System educates students who are able to make an immediate contribution to the overall economy in South Carolina.
Clearly, the education and training provided by the SC Technical College System plays a key role in economic development and job creation opportunities that will immediately impact South Carolinians. The System plays a vital role in preparing the state's workforce for real jobs while also driving future economic development opportunities in South Carolina.
As the workforce education and training infrastructure for the state, the SC Technical College System works closely with the business communities we serve tailoring programs and courses to meet the local area’s workforce needs.
Simply put, South Carolinians rely on the SC Technical College System to learn new skills and enhance their overall employability for real jobs.
