Yesterday, William Floyd, Executive Director of the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce and Chairman of the Coordinating Council for Workforce Development, and Felicia W. Johnson, Commissioner of the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department (@thescvrd) and Coordinating Council member, visited RUCO in Anderson to highlight how collaboration between employers and government agencies creates real opportunities for South Carolinians and the importance of investing in our jobseekers with disabilities. From sharing the success story of RUCO employee Ayden Parker, Vocational Rehabilitation’s Consumer of the Year, to discussing why individuals with disabilities are exceptional job candidates for workforce needs statewide, the message was clear: when we work together, everyone wins. #SCDEW #SCWorks #SCVRD #RUCO #WorkforceDevelopment #PartnershipsMatter #SouthCarolinaJobs #CCWD

November is Veterans in the Workforce Month!💼🎖️🤝 As part of DEW’s Veterans in the Workforce campaign, we are celebrating November by sharing success stories from jobseekers and employers who entered the Stay to Apply Your Skills (STAYS) program, as well as data on the committed veteran employees and employers across the state who keep our economy and workforce running. DEW is excited to feature one veteran in the Upstate. This veteran was a human resources specialist in the Army and later became a Business Analyst for several years in the civilian world after leaving the Army. This veteran eventually had the opportunity to interview with a STAYS partner, Milliken & Company, and was eventually offered a position as a Customer Success Coordinator.

South Carolina businesses set to save millions through 2027 tax rate cuts! Governor @henrymcmaster and S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) Executive Director William Floyd announced that South Carolina’s unemployment insurance (UI) tax rates will decrease or remain the same for employers across the state in 2027 for the 13th consecutive year. These reductions are projected to reduce the employer tax burden by approximately $360 million in 2027, providing employers with greater opportunities to support their workforce and strengthen their businesses. In addition to next year’s tax rate reduction, the past decade has seen historic savings for businesses, as shown in the graph.
