Skill Training Initiatives

Across the state DEW has developed partnerships with organizations to create job opportunities for South Carolinians. Whether it is improving  access to high-quality job training and employment services along the coast or working with the homeless population to develop the skills needed to land and keep a job in the Midlands, the agency is working to meet the workforce needs in each region.
