Please join the Hispanic Alliance and Ten at the Top for a dialogue to explore opportunities to engage the growing Hispanic workforce in building a thriving economy in the Palmetto State.

The conversation will center on the potential positive economic impact of H.3288. If signed into law, this bill would make holders of current and valid employment authorization eligible for occupational or professional licensure to work in South Carolina, resulting in millions of dollars in economic output and tax revenue.
