Ready SC
Formerly known as the Center for Accelerated Technology Training (CATT), ReadySC is one of the most comprehensive and successful programs in the United States. Its structure and content serves as a model for other state programs throughout the country.
The primary incentive is for the investor to obtain free technical training of persons whom it may employ as supervisors or workers. ReadySC will work with the company to prepare manuals, interview and screen workers, and teach classes according to the technical requirements established by the company. Training is usually short-term and is provided prior to opening day of expansion. This assures a trained workforce ready to go when the facility opens.
Ready SC offers:
Recruiting and screening of prospective employees
Customized schedule to fit start-up timeline
Analysis of work process to develop company-specific training
Enterprise Zone Retraining Credits
Eligible companies may receive a cash match of up to $2,000 per employee over 5 years for retraining of existing production employees. The retraining must be necessary for the business to remain competitive or to introduce new technologies.
