Veterans
Job
Training
Tomorrow’s
veterans’
workshop
at
Trident
Technical
College
in
North
Charleston
will
conclude
the
first
part
of
my
veteran
job
training
initiative,
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
meeting
with
veterans
there. We
have
had
a
great
reaction
from
veterans
and
the
community
so
far
to
these
workshops. I
am
hopeful
that
the
events
were
useful
for
those
who
have
served
our
nation
and
are
looking
to
transition
back
into
civilian
work. Here is
more
information
about
the
workshops
that
took
place
across
the
state
over
the
past
week,
as
well
as
on
tomorrow’s
event.
Continuing
our
commitment
to
serve
and
support
those
who
have
defended
our
nation,
we
will
have
another
set
of
workshops
on
different
topics
in
December,
as
well
as
veterans
job
and
resource
fairs
in
early
2015,
so
stay
tuned
for
those!
Celebrating
South
Carolina’s
Businesses
South
Carolina
is
leading
the
nation’s
manufacturing
renaissance
and
I’m
proud
that
businesses
-
large
and
small
-
are
continuing
to
select
South
Carolina
to
open
and
expand
their
businesses
because
of
our
pro-business,
pro-growth
approach
to
growing
our
economy.
I
was
pleased
to
receive
the
NAM
Award
for
Manufacturing
Legislative
Excellence because
it
is
truly
a
testament
to
our
well
trained
workforce
and
commitment
to
workforce
development
and
job
training
that
lead
to
good
paying
jobs
in
the
manufacturing
industry.
Because
several
key
components
of
my
SKILLS
Act
are
now
law,
South
Carolinians
wanting
to
move
into
today’s
in
demand
jobs,
like
manufacturing,
have
an
easier
time
accessing
the
workforce
development
system,
an
important
step
to
ensuring
our
nation
remains
competitive
in
the
global
21st
century
economy.
Opportunity
Agenda
In
case
you
haven’t
seen
my Opportunity
Agenda,
here
are
10
important
facts
about
it.
1.Significant
parts
of my SKILLS
Act
were
signed
into
law
this
year,
working
to
make job
training
more
efficient
and
better
tied
to
local
needs.
2. The CHOICE
Act
puts
education
back
in
the
hands
of
parents,
and
out
of
the
hands
of
bureaucrats
in
Washington.
3. The LEAP
Act
enjoys
bipartisan
support,
and
makes
South
Carolina’s
successful
apprenticeship
program
a
national
model.
4. The SEA
Jobs
Act
calls
for
using
sound
science
to
determine
our
coastal
resources,
and
could
create
up
to
280,000
jobs.
5.
The
CHOICE
Act
helps
kids
with
special
needs
have
access
to
the
education
they
deserve.
I
have
had
the
honor
of
meeting
Ms.
Rachel
Lewis
of
Greenville
who
benefitted
from
a
similar
program,
and
talked
about
her
story
here.
6.
My
Opportunity
Agenda
was
inspired
in
part
by
my
grandfather.
I
talked
about
his
life
and
what
he
means
to
me
here.
7.
The
LEAP
Act
would
help
fill
our
nation's
4
million
vacant
jobs,
and
is
paid
for
by
cutting
wasteful
government
printing.
8.
The
SEA
Jobs
Act
would
both
help
veterans
with
job training
and
emphasize STEM
education
at
colleges,
universities
and HBCUs.
9.
The
CHOICE
Act
expands
educational
options
for
200,000
children
living
on
domestic
military
installations.
10.
I’ll
announce
multiple
new
initiatives
in
the
coming
months
to
help
ensure
all
Americans
have
the
chance
to
succeed!
