South Carolina's mission for economic development is to increase the wealth of the State's citizens in a manner that supports and enhances a high quality of life, particularly as measured by per capita income and the number and geographic distribution of well paid jobs. South Carolina's mission for workforce development is to create a customer-focused comprehensive statewide workforce investment system. This system will serve the needs of: (1) the existing and emerging workforce by helping individuals access the information and high quality services necessary to successfully manage their careers; and (2) the business community by linking employers with skilled workers who are able to contribute to the productivity and profitability of their companies.
The State has established a two-tiered, State Level Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Partners Workgroup to assist the State Board with various aspects of the planning and implementation of WIA. The executive directors of the partner agencies comprise one tier of the workgroup; their planning staffs comprise the other. Each required partner as well as the partner responsible for the TANF and Food Stamp programs has formalized their partner agencies' collaboration by executing a memorandum of understanding.
Thus far, the Governor has designated twelve local workforce investment areas and certified a Workforce Investment Board (WIB) for each of those areas. The Governor has also designated the SC Employment Security Commission as the State administrative entity for the WIA and the State Job Training Council, as an "alternative entity" State WIB. Each of the local workforce investment boards has chosen an adjunct youth council that participated in the development of portions of the local plans relating to eligible youth. The local plans have been submitted to the State and appropriate information has been incorporated into this State Plan.
On July 1, 2000, each local workforce investment area had at least one comprehensive One-Stop Center. Specifically, 16 comprehensive and 35 satellite centers were in operation on July 1st. South Carolina envisions having a comprehensive or satellite center in each of its forty-six counties by June 30, 2005. These centers will be electronically linked to provide a full menu of core services with access to all other activities and programs offered by the partners. All partners will be linked into a single internet-based case management, tracking and reporting system.
