The Coordinating Council for Workforce Development, a partnership between a vast range of state government and local organizations, as well as higher education, announced the launch of the FindYourFuture.sc.gov pilot, an integrated portal to help guide South Carolinians as a resource throughout their educational and career journeys.
The portal also provides employers, educators, and workforce development partners across the state quick links to a breadth of resources in the state.
According to a press release from the CCWD, jobseekers can also find links to some of the most active job boards with current postings, resources that will help them advance their career, including information on the education and certification requirements, and connections to apprenticeship and internship programs. Employers can find places to post jobs, organizations that can help them add apprenticeship programs in their businesses, training opportunities for employees, and labor market data and information. Educators, students, and parents can explore the types of jobs available in the state, educational resources and requirements, and skill-specific schools and training.
A key feature highlighted on the platform is the "Future Finder" tool, which translates users’ previous work experience and education into skills, helps them understand how their skills match up to in-demand career pathways, and connects them with relevant training, education, and jobs to advance their career goals in South Carolina.
According to the Unified State Plan released in July of 2025, more than 70 of the priority occupations outlined in the plan will require postsecondary education, ranging from credentials to doctorate degrees. The CHE is a member of the Coordination Council for Workforce Development and helps advance the goals of the state plan by serving as a conduit to foster greater alignment between post-secondary education and the state’s workforce needs.
“Find Your Future is revolutionizing how South Carolinians navigate employment and education. It is incredible to see conversations and planning come to life with such a strong start," said Dr. Richard Cosentino, Chair of the CCWD Project Steering Committee and President of Lander University. “By providing real-time insights into job opportunities, required skills, and academic pathways, we’re ensuring that employers, workers and students alike can make informed choices that lead to lasting success. This collaboration of more than 30 organizations is impressive, and a major leap forward in workforce development.”
The first iteration of the platform was created to get direct feedback from users to help continuously improve and grow the platform. While FindYourFuture.sc.gov currently serves as a repository of linked resources, the goal is for it to continue evolving and ultimately become the interactive Statewide Education and Workforce Development Portal with helpful features and resources designed for employers, jobseekers, students, educators, and more. Individuals using the site are encouraged to complete the short website feedback survey, which is linked on the main navigation menu and homepage.
