TO RECOGNIZE AND EXPRESS DEEP APPRECIATION TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSTEM ON "SOUTH CAROLINA TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSTEM DAY" ON FEBRUARY 25, 2026, FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS IN EDUCATING AND TRAINING SOUTH CAROLINA'S WORKFORCE FOR HIGH-DEMAND, SKILLED JOBS IN OUR STATE.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina Technical College System serves more than 159,000 students annually through credit, continuing education, and workforce training programs, fueling economic growth and providing the skilled talent that drives South Carolina's workforce; and

 

Whereas, the System's sixteen technical colleges deliver high-impact education and training that align with the evolving needs of business and industry, supporting innovation and strengthening local economies; and

 

Whereas, readySC™, the state's premier economic development recruiting and training program, has trained nearly 330,000 individuals for high-quality jobs since 1961, playing a vital role in the state's economic development success; and

 

Whereas, Apprenticeship Carolina™, a nationally recognized leader in registered apprenticeship, has become one of the fastest-growing and most innovative programs in the country, strengthening South Carolina's workforce and expanding industry partnerships; and

 

Whereas, South Carolina's technical colleges expand access to affordable higher education and serve as the entry point to academic and career success, particularly for first-generation college students; and

 

Whereas, JAG-SC recognizes the potential in every young person and provides the mentorship, real-world skills, and individualized support that empower students to rise above challenges, discover their purpose, and step confidently into their futures as leaders in their communities and our State; and

 

Whereas, most South Carolina technical college graduates choose to stay and work in the State, contributing their skills to local businesses, industries, and the long-term strength of their communities and the State; and

 

Whereas, in recognition and appreciation for the South Carolina Technical College System, Governor Henry McMaster has proclaimed February 25, 2026, as "South Carolina Technical College System Day"; and

 

Whereas, the General Assembly joins with Governor McMaster in expressing deep appreciation to these fine institutions and statewide programs for their role in enhancing the employability of our citizens by providing quality training and education with job-ready credentials for successful employment; and

 

Whereas, the General Assembly further encourages all South Carolinians to recognize the transformative role these institutions play in preparing our state's workforce and strengthening communities across every region. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

 

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and express deep appreciation to the South Carolina Technical College System on "South Carolina Technical College System Day" on February 25, 2026, for their outstanding contributions to building a highly skilled workforce and ensuring the state's continued economic strength and prosperity.
