FindYouFuture.sc.gov Launches New Features Based on Feedback from South Carolinians and Education and Workforce Partners

The newly launched statewide education and workforce platform moved into its second phase with a brand-new section dedicated to veteran services, as well as significant changes to its education section.

Columbia, S.C. – FindYourFuture.sc.gov was launched in February 2025 as a pilot website to connect South Carolina jobseekers with information and programs that guide them on their education and career pathways, as well as provide students, parents, employers, educators, and workforce development partners across the state with a convenient repository of links to the breadth of employment resources available to them. As part of the launch, individuals visiting the site were encouraged to complete a survey with ideas on increasing and improving the resources on the platform. Feedback from the surveys were collected and the updates to FindYourFuture.sc.gov include dozens of recommendations that have been implemented over the past few months.

FindYourFuture.sc.gov is a virtual platform developed by the Coordinating Council for Workforce Development (CCWD) with the participation of more than 30 organizations, state agencies, and businesses. It represents a significant step in aligning individual organizations’ efforts to create a connected education and workforce system that is easy to access, highly effective, and simple to understand.

New pages published on FindYourFuture.sc.gov include a section devoted to education and career initiatives for veterans and their spouses. Whether they are still in the military, transitioning to civilian life and looking for work, or interested in starting a business in South Carolina, relevant information and links are easily accessible and organized in this part of the website. The S.C. Department of Veterans Affairs (SCDVA) collaborated closely with CCWD members to build these initial pages alongside other Coordinating Council members, and the Council now has a Veterans Committee that will be contributing additional links and resources to future versions of the pages.

“South Carolina does an incredible job of welcoming, honoring, and supporting its veterans. Many organizations offer programs, resources, and opportunities for these individuals and their families. It can almost be overwhelming,” stated David Rozelle, Director of Operations at the SCDVA. “We have worked closely with Coordinating Council for Workforce Development, that is leading the Find Your Future SC campaign, to develop web pages where all these resources can be housed. If users know that organizations have posted their information in this section of FindYourFuture.sc.gov by military experience, such as still in service, starting a business, looking for education, and looking for work, then finding the organizations and the programs you need is much easier. Not only that, you can access all of the other education and workforce links in the state throughout the rest of the site.”

Another update to the site is within its education sector. The first phase of FindYourFuture.sc.gov launched with approximately 20 educational links. Based on the feedback from the surveys, Coordinating Council members and partners, and the contributions of education stakeholders in South Carolina, the second phase of the website now includes an updated, more user-friendly education section that has been reformatted with improved submenus, more than two dozen new links, and clearer sectional titles to help parents, students, and educators find the information they may need quickly and efficiently.

Since the launch of the site earlier this year, more than 1,800 individuals across the state have registered for a free account and explored the Future Finder tool, which recommends learning and employment opportunities based on each user's profile and career aspirations. There are as many users ages 50 and above as there are under 20, with backgrounds ranging from business operations and sales to hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing — showing that there are a wide range of workers in South Carolina considering a job or career change. With more than 1,000 career profiles and 50,000 active jobs listings, you're sure to find the opportunity that's right for you.

With the new sections come other updates from the website surveys, including links to some local chamber resources, industry programs for training and internships, dashboards, video resources, and more. These are just a few of the enhanced features that the Coordinating Council added to FindYourFuture.sc.gov that were sourced directly from survey responses. As the site continues to grow, ongoing suggestions from the survey are key to ensuring that the platform is continuously refined to improve the user experience.

The Coordinating Council is committed to responding to the needs of South Carolina’s employers, jobseekers, students and their parents, educators, and workforce leaders. Any member of the public is encouraged to peruse the website and submit their feedback through the survey, linked in the main navigation menu on every page, as well as visit the platform frequently to discover newly added information and resources. Every survey submission is looked at and appreciated. This site reflects the hard work and collaboration across multiple agencies and many teams that will continue as future phases of the site and the wonderful impact it has on South Carolinians going forward.
