The Charleston Digital Corridor is pleased to announce today that Aerospace has been added as an industry sector to CharlestonWorks – a portal showcasing key sectors that are driving Charleston’s high-wage economy. The addition of the Aerospace category has been made possible in partnership with Charleston County Economic Development.
“Our community has a strong aerospace footprint. We are proud to partner with the Charleston Digital Corridor to highlight our existing industry and provide key connections through the CharlestonWorks platform,” said Steve Dykes, Executive Director of Charleston County Economic Development.
CharlestonWorks, which currently has over 375 listed companies located in the Charleston metropolitan area, allows visitors to filter these companies by industry sector and those hiring.
“The CharlestonWorks portal is invaluable in that it gives visitors, within and outside the region, an up-to-date snapshot of Charleston’s growing tech and advanced manufacturing economy in an extremely simple and effective format,” said Ernest Andrade, Charleston Digital Corridor Director.
