Trident Technical College received a $2.99 million Strengthening Institutions Program grant from the U.S. Department of Education, distributed over five years, for a program called Building Bridges to Opportunity. It funds guided career pathways, career-focused advising, AI and workforce skills curriculum and work-based learning, with a Career and Transfer Center scheduled to open in June 2028.
Why this matters here
Trident Tech is where a lot of Lowcountry hiring starts, so money aimed at advising, AI skills and work-based learning shapes the applicants local shops, kitchens and trades will see. Owners who want interns or apprentices have a reason to get on the college's radar early.
