"The 2024 program revision was a gamechanger. It was dramatic, we were able to add leadership and upskilling trainings that we haven't been able to have before."

"The training course approval process has been very speedy."

"We were able to justify leadership training to upper management now that it's eligible for retrainSC. We trained 80 managers; we have seen noticeable improvements in our first pass yields and employee engagement. So were able get some real benefit for our employees and the company through this training. The best part about this is upper management was so impressed they want to provide more of this training and none of that would have been possible without retrainSC. We are very grateful to be a part of the program and we have seen real tangible benefits."

"retrainSC has been a seamless process and the guidance provided makes it stress free! I highly recommend every company enrolling and utilizing the program and resources available."
