DEW: Workforce Development and Nonprofit

Together SC hosted William and Charles from the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce.

Charles Appleby, senior advisor to the Coordinating Council for Workforce Development, discussed the responsibilities and initiatives of the Department of Employment and Workforce following the passage of the State Education and Workforce Development Act.

The act aimed to unify state education and workforce development efforts, transitioning the Coordinating Council for Workforce Development and regional workforce advisors from the Department of Commerce to the Department of Employment and Workforce.

The team also discussed a new office created to address workforce development issues and a forthcoming unified state plan to streamline education and workforce system efforts. Charles highlighted the importance of collaboration and coordinated efforts to ensure South Carolina's workforce sustainability.
