As part of the Education and Economic Development (EEDA) Act, Regional Education Centers have been designated throughout the 12 Local Workforce Investment Areas in South Carolina. The purpose of the Regional Education Centers (REC) is to “…coordinate and facilitate the delivery of information, resources, and services to students, educators, employers, and the community.” Regional Education Centers will consist of a network of service providers that will collaborate to help connect the local education and business communities. Additional information about the Regional Education Centers can be accessed through http://www.scpathways.org/rec.html.
