Whereas, readySC™, the 
state's premier economic development recruiting and training program, has 
trained nearly 330,000 individuals for high-quality jobs since 1961, playing a 
vital role in the state's economic development success; and

Whereas, Apprenticeship 
Carolina™, a nationally recognized leader in registered apprenticeship, has 
become one of the fastest-growing and most innovative programs in the country, 
strengthening South Carolina's workforce and expanding industry partnerships; 
and

Whereas, South 
Carolina's technical colleges expand access to affordable higher education and 
serve as the entry point to academic and career success, particularly for 
first-generation college students; and

Whereas, JAG-SC 
recognizes the potential in every young person and provides the mentorship, 
real-world skills, and individualized support that empower students to rise 
above challenges, discover their purpose, and step confidently into their 
futures as leaders in their communities and our State; and

Whereas, most South 
Carolina technical college graduates choose to stay and work in the State, 
contributing their skills to local businesses, industries, and the long-term 
strength of their communities and the State; and

Whereas, in recognition 
and appreciation for the South Carolina Technical College System, Governor 
Henry McMaster has proclaimed February 25, 2026, as "South Carolina Technical 
College System Day"; and

Whereas, the General 
Assembly joins with Governor McMaster in expressing deep appreciation to these 
fine institutions and statewide programs for their role in enhancing the 
employability of our citizens by providing quality training and education with 
job-ready credentials for successful employment; and 

Whereas, the General

transformative role these institutions play in preparing our state's workforce 
and strengthening communities across every region. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House
