The Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service awarded the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce $6.47 million under the Jobs for Veterans State Grants program (CFDA 17.801) to provide employment services to veterans from October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
Funded staff will deliver individualized career services with priority given to service-connected disabled veterans, other disabled veterans, and veterans facing economic or educational disadvantages. Services include employment resources, career counseling, and job placement assistance through dedicated Disabled Veterans Outreach Program specialists, Local Veterans Employment Representatives, and consolidated position staff co-located in American Job Centers across the state. The goal is to help veterans, including those experiencing homelessness or other significant barriers, prepare for meaningful careers and promote their employment opportunities. As a formula grant, no subawards will be made by the state workforce agency recipient.
