The unit's primary technical assistance function is to assist state agencies with the development and implementation of their affirmative action plans and affirmative action programs. The unit maintains an current data base on the number of persons available by race and sex who possess the requisite skills to fill positions in the various EEO categories. The unit provides assistance to employers who are developing and/or revising personnel policies and procedures in the areas of recruitment, hiring, compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, layoffs, recalls from layoffs, and other areas of human resource management. Assistance is also provided to private sector employers upon request. Yearly, the division undertakes the project of determining the level of affirmative action goal attainment achieved by state agencies.

This unit is further responsible for assisting staff in developing the skills necessary to achieve the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission's workplace objectives, and to assist employers in attaining the knowledge necessary to carry out the South Carolina Human Affairs Law's charge to prevent and eliminate discrimination in employment. Due to limited staff and budget resources, the division has prioritized training activities into three categories: Staff Development Training; Quarterly Employment Forums (at various locations throughout the State); and, Critical Needs (employers who request training to eliminate discrimination or who are referred to the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission as a result of an investigation).
