Tank you or your interest in the South Carolina Vocational Rehabili-

tation Department and its commitment to help people with disabilities

prepare or, achieve and maintain competitive employment.

Tis year, a shrinking job market brought on by a tight economy pres-

ents some dicult challenges. As individuals, we turn to our riends

or support in times o trouble. As an agency, we are ortunate to have

a solid network o partnerships with businesses and industries, ellow

agencies and reerral sources to help us accomplish our mission.

Tis issue o Breakthrough is devoted to honoring those partnerships

and the opportunities they provide or our citizens with disabilities toenter gainul employment. Youll discover how important they are as

you read about Michael Carlos and how a relationship with a business

executive turned into a career (page 5); or about ESAB, a Florence

company that hires people with disabilities because theyve worked

hard to become employable and it shows in their perormance (page 7).

Dont miss the teamwork o three state agencies and the technical col-

lege system working together to provide Career Readiness Certicates

or people with disabilities (page 9).When we succeed, everyone benets. People with disabilities can ocus

on their abilities to earn a living; employers gain well-trained, reliable

employees; and taxpayers benet because these new employees become

taxpayers themselves instead o tax consumers.

Each year, about 8,500 people go to work ater receiving our services.

While we are constantly searching or ways to maximize our resources

and minimize our costs, our dedicated, proessional sta is passionate

about our mission to provide the highest quality and level o services

necessary to prepare our clients to successully achieve their employ-

ment goals.

Tank you again or your interest in our department, our clients and

the services we provide.

Opportunity = SuccessMichael Carlos is the kind o man who decides

what he wants and goes ater it.

When a stroke paralyzed his let side rom the shoul-

der down in June 2001, he knew he had to make some

tough decisions. He was 43 years old with a wie and

three children and he could no longer do his job as

administrator o the Salvation Armys Boys and Girls

Club junior gol program in Georgetown.

While he was undergoing physical therapy, someone

handed him a Vocational Rehabilitation brochure.

I knew i I had to make a change in my career, I had

to ocus on the long term, not just get any job, he said.

Ater a month at SCVRDs Evaluation Center in

West Columbia, Carlos, who has a bachelors degree

in animation and a masters degree in Biblical Stud-

ies, decided to use his background in computers

and applied to enter the departments Inormation

echnology raining Center (IC).When he started the program, he said, Tey [businesses]

are going to hire rom the top, not the bottom. I youll

give me a chance, Ill be the poster boy or this program.

For a year, he spent weekdays in West Columbia and

commuted home to Pawleys Island on weekends. His

wie worked two jobs plus overtime to support the amily.

While at the IC, Carlos met Ben Box, a member

o the centers Business Advisory Council and a senior

developer at PM Systems Corp. in Chapin. PM Systems

creates Internet banking web sites or credit unions.

Box saw a settledness about Michael that you dont oten

nd in entry-level I staf. Hed been out in the world,

managed projects and done a number o other things.

When Carlos graduated, there was a job waiting or him

at PM Systems, writing code to produce web site designs.

He has a good eye or creativity

and style, said Pam Reutebuch, a

web developer who has worked with

Carlos or our years. He had a solid

base knowledge o web site designand he was a good t or us.

oday, Carlos has limited ability in his

let hand and walks with a limp but it doesnt dampen

his enthusiasm.

Im so grateul the opportunity came about so I

could get back the ability to do stuf, he said. Ive

got nothing but wonderul [things] to say about VR.Carlos has a proound gratitude to God and to the

company to be able to begin providing or his amily

again, Box said.

Tey never saw me without a book in my hand. I wasdetermined to take full advantage of the opportunity. I

was like a back country dirt road that needed to be paved.

ESAB has hired three clients ull-time.

Tey begin in the deburr area, removing the rough

Matching Workers to JobsWorkKeys provides a common language matching

the skills potential employees have with the require-

ments the job has, said Dr. Peggy orrey, deputy sec-

retary or workorce at the Department o Commerce.

Employers can look at the test scores and know i the

potential employee meets the qualications.

Representatives rom the state s technical college

system prole jobs or employers who want to use

WorkKeys. Employers can also match their jobs

with proles provided online through the testing

company AC, Fetner said.

WorkKeys helps retention because matching isbetter up ront, orrey said. Tat

results in better placement and saves

on training employees.

She said about 300 businesses and

industries in South Carolina use

WorkKeys.

Because WorkKeys is a nationally recognized skillstest, a Career Readiness Certicate earned in South

Carolina is portable across the country to any em-

ployer that uses WorkKeys.

Clients who arent ready or WorkKeys but still want

to improve their chances or employment can take

advantage o other services oered by the Oce

o Adult Education, Fetner said. Tey can take the

General Educational Development (GED) tests,which certiy that the taker has high school-level

academic skills, or they can take literacy classes or

skills enrichment classes, all ree o charge.

Vocational Rehabilitation clients can now go job

hunting armed with a Career Readiness Certicate

testiying to the skill level they have achieved.

Trough a partnership with the state departmentso Education and Commerce, our clients have the

opportunity to earn certication through the Work-

Keys program in the areas o applied math, reading

or inormation and locating inormation.

Local school districts provide adult education teach-

ers in each o SCVRDs 24 work training centers

and its Georgetown oce to screen clients or the

WorkKeys program and prepare them or testing.

Te tests are given at no charge to the client, paid

or by the Department o Commerce through a

grant, according to erry Fetner, education associate

with the Department o Educations Oce o Adult

Education.

SCVRD provides space or the teachers and com-

puters with Internet access so clients can prepare

online to take the WorkKeys test.

Clients can earn gold, silver or bronze certication,depending on their test scores. o date, more than

4,200 SCVRD clients have earned Career Readiness

Certicates.

WorkKeys helps employers match requiredjob skills to a potential employees ability.

Our clients come to you pre-pared with good work habitsand understanding what isexpected o them.

We work with you to identiythe traits you are looking orin an employee and match

those skills with potentialapplicants.
