Lt. Governor Pamela Evette and the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) has partnered to present the Youth Employment Site (YES), a job board with work opportunities for teenage job seekers with no prior experience. This online job database is a safe and interactive introduction to the workforce with many resources. For more information and to search for specific youth jobs, visit the Youth Employment Site.
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes are the federal standard used to classify workers into the specific category that best matches their job. Each of your employees can be classified in one of 867 detailed occupations listed. For more information and to search for specific SOC codes, visit https://dew.sc.gov/employers/SOC.
The UI Webform allows you to ask the agency unemployment-related questions. For security reasons, no individual information about a claim can be shared through the form, but by using this convenient and efficient resource as a way to connect with broad questions about the UI process, you can avoid a potential wait time on the phone.
