One thing we do not need is more labor unions

One thing we do not need is more labor unions. We have gotten where we are without them, and we do not need them now. We are a right to work state. We have the lowest union membership in the country. However, our prosperity--and that of generations to come--face a clear and present danger from the big labor unions. Their membership is at an all-time low and falling. So now they are looking at us--and other booming southeastern states--none of which want or need labor unions. Source: 2024 State of the State Address to the S.C. legislature , Jan 24, 2024

S.C.Workforce Partnership: shift from toolboxes to tablets

Workers who previously carried tool boxes now carry tablets. In South Carolina, our workforce must keep pace with our own success. We must invest in our workforce development institutions. Fortunately, we have the talent, vision & means to do just that.

The South Carolina Technical College System is the engine of our economic and workforce development. We should use this magnificent system to the fullest extent. To that end, I'm calling for the creation of the South Carolina Workforce Partnership.

This new initiative will connect businesses with high schools and technical colleges to collaborate on internships, dual credit and certificate programs for students interested in the skilled trades--focused on rural areas of our state. My budget also increases funding for Workforce Scholarships and Grants--so that more students can access the financial resources to obtain certificates and associate's degrees at our technical colleges.
