Worker Training
South Carolina’s highly regarded ReadySC program, administered by the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education, is available for startup training customized for a company’s needs. This training is state funded and, in most cases, is provided at no cost to the participating company.
Industrial training efforts in South Carolina have proven to be extremely successful in terms of speed and utility to industry. Upon a company’s decision to located or expand in the state, ReadySC will send industrial engineers to the plant headquarters to establish a pre-employment training program. A lead-time schedule is devised and arrangements are made for each job classification required by the company. ReadySC provides training manuals and selects qualified instructors for each class. Applicants are accepted for training only after careful screening and testing. Through careful planning and meaningful training programs, employees possess the ability to meet their job requirements on the first day of plant start-up, therefore making efficiency losses practically non-existent.
