Workforce Development Month was started by Governor McMaster to highlight the talent of South Carolina’s workforce, promote more opportunities to connect job seekers with employers, and celebrate the vibrant industries throughout the state.
“Our region is home to great career paths, from advanced manufacturing to healthcare,” said BCDCOG Workforce Development Director Sharon Goss. Again, SC Works Trident is grateful to collaborate once again with our economic development partners to equip job seekers to take advantage of the career opportunities available.”

“Workforce Development Month is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the robust career resources and the skilled talent making a significant impact on the Charleston region,” said Charleston County Economic Development Deputy Director Ashley Richardson. “We are grateful to partner with SC Works on the annual Workforce Career Fair to introduce individuals to the wide range of opportunities available here locally. By helping to bridge the gap between talent and industry, SC Works is helping to strengthen our regional competitiveness and support long‑term economic stability for our communities.”
“Each year, this event reminds us just how much talent and opportunity exist right here in Dorchester County,” said Gordon Rooney, Existing Industry & Workforce Project Manager for Dorchester County Economic Development. “This is more than an opportunity to find a job, it’s a chance for job seekers to discover possibilities, for employers to meet the talent they need, and for meaningful connections to turn into long-term careers. We’re looking forward to another great event and another opportunity to showcase the strength of Dorchester County’s workforce.”
