South Carolina's Enterprise Zone Retraining Program (E-Zone) has since been succeeded by the state's ReTrainSC program — see how Credo's current TrainUp SC solution supports it below. The results on this page are real; the program name has changed.
The Enterprise Zone Retraining Program was a great initiative through the technical colleges of South Carolina. Manufacturing, processing, and technology-intensive companies located in South Carolina had a cost-benefiting opportunity to receive a refund for "retraining" employees. One of the drawbacks was the paperwork required to stay compliant — keeping track of eligible work instructions and employees was time-consuming, and integrating existing training history to maintain current reimbursement balances was difficult. Multiple associates were needed to determine eligibility, and companies risked missing out on the opportunity to save up to 66% in training costs.
THE APPROACH
- EZ Training Tracking recognized that companies invest significant resources into the training of their employees.
- The system gathered digital work instruction on training sessions, analyzed training for E-Zone compliance, and generated forms and reports for reimbursements.
- Management was able to track training of eligible employees up to the reimbursable amount.
- The eligible employee information needed to complete compliance reports to the state was automatically populated into the necessary reports.
- With the system in use, companies could realize up to $1,000 per eligible employee per year for training they were already required to complete for certifications and regulations within the state.*
THE RESULT: using Credo's EZ Training Tracking system, one Upstate South Carolina facility secured over $120,000 in reimbursements for training that was already required for certifications and regulations within the state.*
South Carolina's retraining reimbursement program now runs as ReTrainSC through the SC Technical College System, and the opportunity has broadened — it's now open to logistics, warehousing, and technology companies as well as manufacturing, with a wider scope of approved training classes. Credo's TrainUp SC solution brings the same automated, low-paperwork approach to the current program — up to $1,000 per eligible employee per year, and up to $5,000 per employee over five years.
