a variety of patrons, including ex-offenders reentering the workforce, small businesses looking to grow, young first time job seekers, military personnel and veterans, and older adults seeking new skills to stay in the workforce.
<a href="http://www.worksc.org/">Work SC</a> brings a comprehensive, yet accessible, set of tools to South Carolina residents through the State Library, and Jason played no small part in making it happen. Find out how your library, large or small, can adapt
these service models and partnerships to provide the resources and support your local community needs to thrive in today’s workforce.<o:p></o:p></p>
