Training to help companies with workforce needs

Tri-County Technical College received a $57 thousand grant to award 20 scholarships for industry-based training that can give individuals the skills training and certifications to qualify them to work in local manufacturing within two weeks. The grant was awarded to Tri-County by the SC Department of Employment and Workforce through the SC Technical College System. Individuals can apply now for the Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) classes that will begin in February.
