Columbia, SC, Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tallo, a leading digital platform connecting young talent with opportunities in education and employment, is excited to announce the expansion of its partnership with SC Future Makers. This first-in-the-nation initiative prepares South Carolina’s students to thrive in the workforce by providing free resources that empower young people to create digital profiles that connect to meaningful education and employment opportunities, access real-time labor market data, and a forum where profile holders can expand their professional network.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with SC Future Makers and its reach throughout the Palmetto State,” said Allison Danielsen, CEO of Tallo. “Our ongoing collaboration plays a crucial role in reaching and empowering the next generation of South Carolina’s workforce by providing them with the tools and resources they need to succeed. We are committed to nurturing this talent pipeline, ultimately driving economic growth and innovation within the state.”
In the last 8 years of their partnership, Tallo and SCFM have served over 130,000 residents. This year, the initiative plans to increase engagement among profile holders and build upon that success by onboarding an additional 80,000 profiles of students during the 2024-2025 academic year.
“The partnership between Tallo and SC Future Makers underscores our unwavering commitment to South Carolina’s future workforce,” said Elisabeth Kovacs of SC Future Makers. “Our state’s employers have incredible and meaningful opportunities to offer and our goal is to take this initiative to the next level by increasing engagement and connectivity throughout South Carolina.”
South Carolina employers can participate in this initiative by building a presence on the Tallo platform for free. This direct access to a growing pool of talented individuals bridges the gap between education and employment, allowing local companies to tap into the state’s emerging talent.
