The SC Economic Development Institute graduates community leaders
The South Carolina Economic Developers’ Association (SCEDA) and the South Carolina Department of Commerce (SCDOC) announced that state and community leaders have graduated from a statewide economic development training program, The SC Economic Development Institute (The Institute). This year’s graduates include local leaders such as Scott Biering and Bubba Trippe.
The Institute offers participants a highly interactive curriculum, affording them a more immersive “hands-on” economic development learning experience. The Institute, a decades-long partnership between SCEDA and SCDOC, has graduated more than 1,500 participants since its inception.
Now in its 34th year, The Institute consists of quarterly, two-day sessions that are hosted in various locations throughout the state.
The Institute is open to individuals from a wide variety of organizations and entities, including city, town and county councils; local economic development practitioners; county economic development boards; county school boards; regional economic development boards; utility companies; and local and state governments.
