In central South Carolina there are a projected 20,000 job openings over the next five years, but the data shows that the state lacks people with the education and training needed to fill many of those very lucrative positions.  The jobs are open; the middle-skill salaries are competitive, often ranging from $40,000 to over $100,000.  To learn more about the Skills Gap, click on the following link:  http://www.midlandstech.edu/jobspipeline/




The purpose of the Growing Resources for Information Technology (GRIT) program is to build a training infrastructure to high-growth, high-demand information technology occupations for unemployed veterans, minorities, women and others through a technical skills program that includes on-the-job training (OJT). Regional employers in insurance and health care IT departments anticipate needing nearly 2,200 new and replacement IT workers over the next four years. The GRIT program provides training exclusively for the three occupations in the highest demand among insurance and healthcare industries: programmer analyst, computer network support specialist and network and data communication analyst.  The program provides tuition, books, and multiple certifications, at no cost to eligible participants.
