BPBP SC, Unique Mobile Workshop to Promote Skilled Jobs, Begins Statewide Tour
September 3rd, 2020
Be Pro Be Proud SC is unlike anything South Carolina has experienced, and on Thursday September 3, 2020, Gov. Henry McMaster and public and private leaders unveiled the impressive 53-foot, double-expandable, 18-wheel window to the future.
Kicking off its statewide tour this fall, the mission of Be Pro Be Proud SC is to showcase skilled-profession careers abundantly found in South Carolina through hands-on, interactive stations representing on-the-job experiences. The movement aims to bring a new generation of pride and professionals to the state’s skilled workforce, specifically among the student populations who are weighing their options after graduation.
Students will learn that many of these skilled jobs are not only high-paying, but in demand, have long-term career prospects and are only a fraction of the cost of a 4-year degree.
“The Be Pro Be Proud SC initiative motivates and arms hardworking South Carolinians with knowledge of lucrative employment opportunities,” said Gov. Henry McMaster. “This initiative not only creates a stronger, more skilled workforce, but builds pathways for South Carolinians to achieve their very own American dream,” says South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster.
