Posted

The “SC Career Coach” is a Mobile unit with state-of-the-art facilities that brings the job search process to those looking for work in local areas.

The Career Coach will be providing workforce services to jobseekers, and a number of area businesses will be discussing employment opportunities, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. July 18 when the Career Coach will be parked at the Clarendon School District 1 Community Resource Center at 1154 4thStreet in Summerton. According to postings in the South Carolina Works Online services portal alone, there are 66 open positions in Summerton.

A mobile extension of the SC Works centers, the SC Career Coach duplicates resources found in such statewide locations as the Manning Center located in the Harvin-Clarendon County Library at 214 N. Brooks St. in Manning, but does so in a mobile environment that travels to more rural areas to offer on-site support services. This state-of-the-art mobile SC Works center has 10 work stations for job-seeking activities, provides WiFi and printer capabilities, has staff available to assist users and is wheelchair accessible. It is an extension of the services provided through the work centers and connection points blanketing the state – an opportunity to bring these services to locations or events where workforce resources are beneficial or needed. SC Career Coach can travel to a variety of events, including:
  • Job fairs, expositions and trade shows.
  • Recruitment events and assistance for businesses.
  • Hiring event and skills workshops.
  • Educational career fairs.
  • Job service and seeking opportunities in rural areas. Employers who wish to reserve the SC Career Coach for future events can visithttps://www.scworks.org/career_coach.aspfor more information.
