Please join other Upstate business leaders, school district Superintendents and school board members, and economic and workforce development organization representatives for an interactive discussion about bridging the gap between the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate and the needs of our region's business and industry.

What is the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate and how are Upstate school districts working to achieve the goal?

Local Business Leaders Panel Discussion: What characteristics are the Upstate's businesses looking for when hiring recent graduates?

Table Exercise: What are the consistencies, or differences, between the Profile of the South Carolina graduate and what local businesses need? How can we bridge the gap to ensure students are prepared for employment?
