The Fellows in Education class met at the new Poynor Healthcare Innovation facility on February 10 for its monthly session. Participants had lunch and learned about the center’s initiatives to build a skilled healthcare workforce in the Pee Dee region. The program aims to provide students with educational opportunities in healthcare, helping them develop basic skills, begin working in the field during high school, and secure employment after graduation.
Fellows in Education is a collaborative effort by Florence 1 Schools, The School Foundation, and the Greater Florence Chamber of Commerce. It offers local community leaders an eight-month overview of schools across Florence 1.
