Signing Day! 🖊

We are proud to celebrate a fantastic staple of our local business community - Good Girl Brewing Co.! Please help us welcome them to the Aiken Chamber.

From the owner, Andrew Phifer: "As Aiken’s favorite brewery since 2024, GGBC has redefined the local craft beer scene with a diverse tap list featuring everything from traditional American Lagers to innovative Watermelon Sours. Beyond the taps, their full-service kitchen serves up incredible local favorites, including their signature Smash Burgers and Philly Cheesesteaks with housemade beer cheese.

Looking for the perfect weekend plans? Head over for Saturday dinner and live music on their outdoor stage. And don't forget to bring your dogs along! GGBC offers a vibrant, pet-friendly atmosphere perfect for the whole family."

Meta is launching America's Workforce Academy (AWA) — a nationwide, fast-track to a long-term career in a skilled trade, powered by an initial $115 million first year investment. It’s the largest private-sector commitment to the skilled trades with a job guarantee in American history.

Check it out: https://www.meta.com/actions/americas-workforce-academy/

The American AI buildout represents one of the most significant economic opportunities for workers in a generation. The demand for skilled tradespeople — electricians, plumbers, fiber technicians — is outpacing the workforce pipeline. AWA addresses this gap head-on.

Meta can't solve this alone. They're calling on industry peers to join in on training the workers who will build America's future. The demand for skilled trades will only grow as AI infrastructure, energy, and construction expand over the coming decades.

Aiken Data Center

America’s Workforce Academy is a first-of-its-kind program to train people for skilled jobs building the AI infrastructure that will power America’s future.

☕️ This morning’s First Friday Means Business gave attendees an exciting look at how innovation, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies are shaping South Carolina’s future.

We heard from Bill Kirkland of South Carolina Research Authority (SCRA), who shared how the organization is driving economic growth across our state through strategic initiatives such as cybersecurity, research security, artificial intelligence readiness, technology commercialization, and startup investment. His presentation highlighted the critical role SCRA plays in strengthening South Carolina’s innovation ecosystem and creating opportunities that benefit communities like Aiken.

Attendees also learned about ways to engage with and support entrepreneurship through networking, mentorship, storytelling, and initiatives like Venture Lab Aiken. As Aiken continues to grow, partnerships with organizations like SCRA are essential to attracting talent, supporting business development, and ensuring our region remains competitive in the innovation economy.

Notably in attendance was Senator Tom Young and Representative Charlie Hartz who joined us for this important conversation about the future of innovation and economic development in South Carolina.

Thank you to Bill Kirkland for sharing his expertise, and thank you to our First Friday Means Business sponsor, Family Pharmacy, for helping make this program possible.
