Trident Technical College (TTC) Division of Continuing Education and Economic Development is pleased to offer the new Workforce Pathways Scholarship for classes with start dates from Jan. 1-June 30, 2016 (until funds are expended). 

The scholarship program is only available for this six-month time period and is not expected to be offered again as it is using non-recurring funds. The Workforce Pathways Scholarship was funded by the South Carolina General Assembly through the South Carolina Technical College System.

Trident Technical College has funding available to provide scholarships to students who are current residents of South Carolina. The scholarship money can be used by students to pay for class tuition and textbooks only. It is only available for use on qualified TTC continuing education courses.

A number of Wadmalaw residents came before the council on Tuesday (1/26/16) with concerns about the water quality on Wadmalaw Island. With everyone watching the horrible events unfold in Flint, MI over lead poisoned water and water quality around the country in question, I am very focused on this issue. I have requested that Charleston County work immediately to secure funding for testing the safety of the drinking water on Wadmalaw, Meanwhile, we are working to get a temporary water tank set-up on the island while we look for a permanent resolution to this problem.

Please be assured that County Councilmembers are working diligently to address this issue. You can watch the video below to see the concerns expressed at the meeting. ​

It is 2016 and there is no reason some people in this county are forced to live with potentially unsafe water. I believe that ALL of Charleston County needs access to clean safe water.

f you are currently having problems with your water on Wadmalaw please contact the County at (843) 958-4040 or (843) 958-4031 or email deputy clerk at ksalisbury@charlestoncounty.org.
