S.W.A.T.
Skilled Workforce Apprenticeship Training
The S.C. Vocational Rehabilitation Department’s Skilled Workforce Apprenticeship Training (SWAT) program provides on-the-job training and soft skills clients need to become skilled workers with good career opportunities.
Before entry into SWAT, clients are matched to the employer’s position and needs through the use of WorkKeys. Clients are provided with a structured training period that may last three months or more. During this time, clients learn on-the-job under a mentor so they become fully competent in all aspects of a job, including knowledge, skills and company culture.
SWAT provides a win-win situation. South Carolina employers win as their needs for a skilled workforce are met while they enjoy a reduction in training costs, higher productivity rates and a more diverse workforce. SCVRD clients win as they receive training that equips them with valuable skills and the opportunity to enter a skilled position within a stable career field.
