While at the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, Stanton collaborated with the South Carolina Department of Commerce, the South Carolina Technical College System, and the South Carolina Department of Education to create the South Carolina Talent Pipeline project, which aims to create a consistent supply of qualified candidates for state jobs.
