Training Center

The Training Center, located on SCCB’s Columbia Campus, serves consumers statewide, providing training that can lead to job readiness and independence. In addition, the Training Center includes a residential facility for consumers who might benefit from staying on campus Monday through Friday. We also offer a day program for consumers who prefer to commute.

To attend the Training Center, you must be a consumer and referred by your VR Counselor for employment readiness, vocational rehabilitation, and disability-related skills training.

Instructional Programs

Training Center classes are designed to help you achieve your employment goals and meet your independence needs. This may include instruction which helps you become more independent not only in the workplace, but at home and in your community. Training you may receive includes (but is not limited to):

• Home Management
• Orientation and Mobility
• Braille Literacy
• Rehabilitation Technology software training
• Job Readiness training
• Independent-living skills that support job readiness

Each consumer who receives Vocational Rehabilitation services is unique. The specific services and training you receive are individualized and tailored to your strengths, needs, and goals.
