The president will visit Benedict College, a historically black college in Columbia, and participate in a town hall with students and young members of the community. He is expected to talk about the role that institutions like this college can play in fulfilling the demand for skilled professionals and helping to train people for those highly skilled jobs across the country.
Obama’s trip to South Carolina marks his first visit to the Palmetto State as president. It was one of only three states he had yet to visit as president. The two states that remain are Utah and South Dakota.
