Our History
The “One-Stop” workforce center concept began in 1996 as an initiative proposed by the US Department of Labor. Soon after, a pilot program began in various states to develop a model and bring multiple agencies, which we call
“Partners”, together under one roof to offer an array of services to the public. The concept would allow job seeking customers the opportunity to visit one location to access employment opportunities, labor market information, public assistance, education and training opportunities, and much more.
Luckily for South Carolina the wheel did not have to be reinvented. The
South Carolina Employment Security Commission (ESC) with its 35 “Job Service” offices, now called “One-Stop” Workforce Centers, were already established and were years ahead of other states who were scrambling to launch new One-Stops. Not only did the ESC have well established offices throughout South Carolina, they possessed years of long standing relationships with the business community and other local, state and federal agencies. Naturally, this was the logical and most cost effective place to locate the new One-Stop Workforce Center system in South Carolina.
The South Carolina Employment Security Commission
has served the Greenville
community for over 50 years. The
Greenville Workforce Center is one of South Carolina’s
premier One-Stop Workforce Centers and is recognized as a leader in the workforce development arena at the state, national and international levels.
