Charleston’s growth depends on having the right talent in place, today and for the future. Higher education plays a meaningful role in shaping that workforce and in strengthening the region’s economy.Impact: Higher Education Shaping a Growing Economy brings together the presidents of four of the region’s major colleges and universities for a candid conversation about how higher education is responding to workforce needs, preparing students for in-demand careers and strengthening long-term economic growth. You’ll have the opportunity to hear where education and industry can connect most directly, how institutions are adapting programs to close skills gaps and anticipate what’s next, and how higher education contributes to the regional economy through job creation and innovation.
