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 in Florence turned to the South Carolina
Vocational Rehabilitation Department to supple-
ment its workorce.
Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, ESAB is a lead-
ing supplier o welding and cutting equipment. Tecompany makes traditional oxygen/acetylene weld-
ers as well as laser welders and hybrid welders that
use water jet and laser technology. It has pioneered
riction-stir technology, which stirs together metal
molecules rom two dierent sources to weld them.

Quality is essential and hiring guidelines are strict,
said Susan Urquhart, SCVRD Florence Work
raining Center manager. Last year, ve VR clientsworked about 12,500 hours on-site at the plant.
ESAB has hired three clients ull-time.
Tey begin in the deburr area, removing the rough

Boineau, ESAB manuacturing manager in Flor-
ence. wo clients work in wire termination, tting

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

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

with the Department o Educations Oce o Adult
Education.

puters with Internet access so clients can prepare

4,200 SCVRD clients have earned Career Readiness
Certicates.
