Job opportunities are on the rise in Charleston’s fastest growing industries:
Aerospace
When aerospace industry giant Boeing opened their 727 assembly facility here in 2011, they brought with them a wealth of opportunities for the Charleston community. There has been a reported 300% job growth* in the aerospace industry since 2007, and Charleston’s skilled workforce has expanded greatly in the past 5 years. Charleston is also a port city with an expanding international airport, so global travel, importing and exporting are all advantages that workers in this industry enjoy. Because of the strong industry presence and low tax cost for businesses, we expect to see even more growth in this industry for decades to come.
Technology
If you’ve done any research into Charleston’s workforce recently, you’ve probably come across the term “Silicon Harbor.” Charleston has been dubbed the East Coast hub for technology innovation and software development. The city is an attractive destination for recent graduates because of the wealth of job opportunities, as well as the ideal lifestyle it affords. Everything from tech startups to Amazon and Google affiliated companies are operating out of the harbor, and we’re only expecting to see more growth!
Biomedical
The Medical University of South Carolina is located right in downtown Charleston and is a fixture of the community. Charleston has become known for being a great place for medical and pharmaceutical research and even product development.
