Center for Accelerated Technology Training
Formerly known as The South Carolina Special Schools Program, the Center for Accelerated Technology Training (CATT) 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. CATT 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.
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.
