Lt. Governor Evette discussed her initiative focused on encouraging teens to join the workforce during her visit. She also discussed this matter during a visit to the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce in March of 2022 where she, according to The Sun News, “encouraged parents to allow their teenage children to work minimum wage jobs as a way to gain ‘soft skills.’”

She also visited classes such as Senior Project and College Seminar. She met with seniors to discuss their projects in anticipation of the Senior Project Showcase this Wednesday, and discussed teenagers entering the workforce with those present in College Seminar this morning.
