Workforce Development
In South Carolina, the Workforce Division of the South Carolina Department of Commerce is committed to ensuring that South Carolinians have the education and training necessary to fill the most in-demand jobs. The division works with a diverse array of public and private partners to carry out this objective, and all of the division's activities are designed to achieve this goal.
Matching the needs of business for skilled workers and the training, education and employment needs of individuals, the Workforce Division seeks to provide customers timely information and services through a “One-Stop” system. The One-Stops assist in finding appropriate training for adults and enable smooth coordination with industries, education and economic development allowing customers to get the information and services they need. Adults are empowered to obtain the training they find most appropriate through individual training accounts. This system ensures that all state and local programs meet customer expectations.
In order to receive funds, training providers must apply to a local Workforce Development Board and meet established criteria showing graduation and placement rates, as well as a number of other items.
