In this episode, South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce Executive Director William Floyd sits down with Rebecca Battle-Bryant, Ph.D., SHRM-CP, Director of the Office of Statewide Workforce Development, to discuss the important role internships play in strengthening South Carolina’s workforce pipeline. The conversation explores how internships help students build skills, increase awareness of career opportunities in their communities, and connect with employers earlier across the state. Dr. Battle-Bryant also shares how employers and educators can work together to expand access to internships, especially for high school students, and explains how these efforts support the priorities of the Coordinating Council for Workforce Development and the Unified State Plan. Through collaboration with education partners, employers, and workforce leaders across South Carolina, these initiatives are helping create stronger pathways that connect more people with work and more work with people.

We're #hiring an intern, and not just for the summer! This is a unique, flexible internship in which someone can work 10-37.5 hrs/wk for up to a year with our Communications team, which is a perfect fit for any current student or recent grad specializing in film, videography, or a similar field. 🎥 The job is primarily focused on the editing to post-production stages, but this person will also be able to help us film on shoots, including our podcast (https://lnkd.in/eqsx_Ngx), employer spotlights, and some pretty unique events statewide. It's a great opportunity to introduce someone to the eclectic needs of our in-demand video team. They also get to report directly to, and work hand-in-hand with, the AMAZING Maliek Fowler. 🎬 Please share with anyone you think would be a great fit!

More than a dozen local high school students got an inside look at careers in rehabilitation during the 2nd annual “Healing Hands: Career Pathways in Rehabilitation” event at Tidelands Health. Through hands-on activities and one-on-one conversations with Tidelands Health therapists, students explored what it’s like to work in physical and occupational therapy, two fast‑growing, high-demand fields nationwide. As the region continues to grow rapidly, Tidelands Health is helping recruit and prepare the next generation of health care professionals who will serve our communities. “Healing Hands” is part of the Tidelands Health McRoy and Jo Skipper Initiative for Learning and Teaching, which supports the education and training of current and future health care professionals through scholarships, internships, development programs and more.
