Incumbent Worker Training

Private sector South Carolina employers located in Fairfield, Lexington, and Richland counties faced with changing skill requirements caused by new technology, retooling, new product lines, and/or new organizational structuring may be eligible for IWT assistance. IWT funds are limited to skills-based training and require an employer matching contribution to the training project.
