What is the Educational Opportunity Center?

The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is a federally funded educational outreach TRIO program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to promote postsecondary education to underrepresented populations. The EOC motivates and assists low-income, first-generation adults who want to begin, resume, or continue their education beyond the high school level.

The mission of the program is to expand awareness about educational opportunities and postsecondary education options to low-income first generation individuals throughout the Tri-county area.

The goal of the project is to increase the number of Tri-county adults who enroll in postsecondary (college) education institutions.

The EOC program assists adults who are interested in continuing their education to the postsecondary (college) level. Each year, EOC serves approximately 2,000 adults from the Tri-county community. You are eligible to participate in the program if you are:

• 18 years of age and older
• A resident of Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties
• A citizen or permanent resident of the United States of America
• A first-generation college student (Neither one of your parents has completed a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college or university)
• From a low-income family (Based on the federal low income guidelines)
• Referrals to local GED programs

What Can EOC Assist Me With?

Obtaining high school credentials such as the: General Education Diploma (GED), High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED) or Adult High School Certificate (AHS).

Enrolling into college by assisting with the college admissions and financial aid application process.

EOC can also help with college selection and admissions information, re-enrolling back into college or transferring from a two year to a four-year college, career exploration and planning, and information about how to resolve issues related to student loan default.

As you can see the Educational Opportunity Center program provides a wide variety of services to qualified adults who want to complete a GED or enter or continue a college program .

Esthetics Clinic Open on the Downtown Palmer Campus Now

by Dosha Wynne

The Palmer Campus’ Esthetics Clinic is the place to go! Relax, reduce stress, and pamper yourself in a soothing environment. I have visited and received facial and waxing services that are comparable to outside spa services for a fraction of the price. I am an experienced customer, and I am quite pleased with the services that TTC’s Esthetics Clinic offers. 

Depending on the term, they offer many services to include customized facials (treatments & machines), microdermabrasion, lip & eye treatments, waxing services, back treatments & extractions, hot stone massage add-on’s, and make-up applications. 

I received a customized facial, and myy skin felt so good and looked so healthy when they were done. I have already booked my next facial. Their services are offered to the public, TTC faculty, and TTC students. They are located in Room 158. Even those of us on a budget can be beautiful! 

Please phone this state of the art clinic to book your top of the line esthetics service today! Call today 843-722-5505 to make your appointment. Trident Tech's esthetics program is proud to be a Jane Iredale and Dermalogica partnership school, which means they use the best products on the market today!  

The Esthetics Clinic at the Downtown Palmer campus will be opening on October 24, 2018. Here is a list of services and prices that they will be offering from in the Fall 2 term, which runs 10/24/18 - 12/12/18:

If you do not have this method of payment (once it starts), you will be able to buy a gift card from our bookstore to accommodate your service cost. Until the system is in place, it is a CASH ONLY payment method.
