Last September, during Workforce Development Month, Governor Henry McMaster, Lt. Governor Pamela Evette, and S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce Director William Floyd honored Michelin North America, Inc., with the Workforce Champion Award for strengthening the workforce pipeline by connecting students with career awareness, exploration, and employment opportunities. As Executive Director Floyd travels throughout the state to thank and spotlight the 2025 Workforce Champion Award Nominees and Winners, Michelin North America marked our seventh stop on the tour, as Regional Workforce Advisor (RWA) Kaye Shaw nominated its Lexington facilities for: 🏆Constantly being a driver of economic development through their Michelin Technical Scholars program.
