The SC State Board For Technical And Comprehensive Education (doing business as SC Technical College System) received a $771,633 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under the Registered Apprenticeship program (CFDA 17.285), effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028. This award supports the expansion and modernization of registered apprenticeship opportunities across South Carolina, with a focus on connecting underrepresented populations to skilled career pathways in key industries including healthcare, information technology, manufacturing, and construction.

The grant funds comprehensive workforce development services delivered through a network of seven sub-awardees, primarily technical colleges within the South Carolina system. Products and services provided include the development of new registered apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs, tuition assistance for apprentices, supportive services to promote program completion and retention, and targeted outreach to underrepresented populations. These initiatives are designed to increase the number of registered apprentices in the state and enhance workforce readiness across multiple sectors through structured training and employment strategies aligned with regional labor market demands.
