Stars and Stripes reports that “an effort to help S.C. National Guard members find jobs will be expanded to serve all military members, Gov. Nikki Haley announced last week.”  

“Advisers for Operation Palmetto Employment will be stationed at the 12 S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce offices around the state, including the Beaufort County location on Castle Rock Road, to assist military members searching for jobs.”  

“The program started in October 2011 and was expanded with a $750,000 Department of Defense grant, Haley said Feb. 24 during a luncheon in Columbia.”
