Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union proudly announces its recent project with Coastal Carolina University’s Community and Business Engagement Institute
MYRTLE BEACH, SC (April 4, 2023) — Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union is proud to announce its recent project with the Coastal Carolina University Community and Business Engagement (CoBE) Institute.
The CoBE Institute is an associate-led professional organization that bridges the gap between business theory and workplace experience by pairing high-achieving students with real-world business-consulting projects.
Individuals selected as CoBE Associates receive intensive training, professional development, and first-class mentoring as they prepare for careers in today’s fast-paced and rapidly evolving business world while providing high-quality solutions to valued business clients.
Carolina Trust was honored to be the CoBE Institutes first Financial Institution client.
“We engaged the Community and Business Engagement Institute, or CoBe to research a project for Carolina Trust FCU. The work the students provided was impressive and would have cost thousands to hire a company to perform the same level of work,” said Tim Carlisle, Carolina Trust President/CEO. This kind of innovativeness is what is needed to draw in new enterprises to boost the local economy and improve the quality of life in our community.”
In addition to the project partnership, the credit union also donated one thousand dollars to assist in the program’s growth and future endeavors.
