SC Works Pee Dee — Your First Stop

SC Works Pee Dee at 1558 West Evans Street is the single most useful career resource in Florence County for young people, and most students have never walked through the door. It is a federally funded workforce center open to anyone. Everything inside is free.

What you can access there:

Resume development

Staff help you build a resume from scratch or improve one you already have. The SC Works Online Services system includes a built-in resume builder that lets you create up to ten tailored versions.

Skills assessments

Career assessments match your strengths to in-demand occupations. WorkKeys assessments — which measure workplace readiness — are available and carry real weight with local employers.

Mock interviews

A career counselor will run a practice interview with you before you go in front of a hiring manager. For a first-time job seeker, that preparation changes the outcome.

Job placement

Staff connect job seekers with employers actively hiring in the Florence region. Hiring events take place throughout the year at the Florence center and at partner locations across the Pee Dee.

Workshops

Regular sessions on job search strategies, how to fill out applications, interview best practices, and financial literacy.
