Support Local Talent by Donating to the Trade Industry Scholarship Initiative (BBB ColaChas)
The BBB Serving Central SC & Charleston has launched a special initiative that will make a lasting impact on our community. The Trade Industry Scholarship Initiative was created to provide financial support to deserving students pursuing careers in the trade industry at Midlands Technical College and Trident Technical College. You have the opportunity to play a crucial role in shaping the future of our skilled workforce.
