Our History:
The “one-stop” center concept began in 1995 as an initiative proposed by the US Department of Labor. A pilot program began in various states to develop a model for everyone to use. The goal was to bring multiple agencies together under one roof to offer an array of services. The idea being that job seeking customers could go to a One-Stop and look for work, explore education options, obtain local labor market information, seek career counseling, or speak with any of the multitude of other partners associated with “one-stop” system.
Luckily for South Carolina, the wheel did not have to be reinvented, so to speak. The South Carolina
Department of Employment and Workforce, with its 35 Job Service offices, possessed all the basic criteria needed for the new “one-stop” system. Not only did the Job Service offices around the state possess the basic criteria, they had already developed over a half century’s rapport with the business community and other local, state and federal agencies. It was a logical and cost effective choice to house the new One-Stop system in the South Carolina
Department of Employment and Workforce office buildings throughout the state.
We are an equal opportunity employer/program.
