The National Farmworkers Jobs Program (NFJP) is sponsored by the US Department of Labor. The South Carolina portion of the program is grant funded annually to Northeastern Technical College (TC) in Cheraw SC (North Region). Two additional SC Technical Colleges host NFJP program managers/case workers at Williamsburg TC (Central Region) and Denmark Technical College (South Region). These three offices also utilize the thirteen other SC Technical Colleges in providing localized services and training to farmworkers and their dependents. NFJP also has partnership relationships with SCWorks, SC Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW), and SC Agricultural Workers Health Program.
