SC Works Centers
SC Works Centers include re-employment services for jobseekers, partner services, business services and resource rooms for use when filing for unemployment benefits or searching for work online.
SC Works centers are operated by a local Council of Governments. Visit their website here: https://www.lowersavannahwda.org/
The Lower Savannah area is providing services from all of its centers, but Aiken, Barnwell and Orangeburg centers are now open to the public. The other centers are providing services by phone during normal operating hours indicated below.
And as always, these online services are available 24/7:
The Claimant Self Service Portal where individuals can create an account and file for Unemployment Insurance Benefits.
The SC Works Online Services (SCWOS) site where jobseekers can upload a resume as well as search for work and businesses can post jobs and look for employees.
