Oconee County Economic Development Commission
SCORE
Economic Development is important to every community and Oconee County, with its current unemployment rate, is no exception. Successful economic development is a multi-faceted program.
We are looking to enhance our economic development toolkit by expanding SCORE (Service Corps of Retried Executives) into our community. Basically, SCORE is about matching the experience of retired or working executives with counseling opportunities for Oconee’s new or existing smaller businesses. As a SCORE volunteer, you…
- provide leadership in the business community.
- gain recognition and respect as a business mentor.
- enjoy the satisfaction of contributing to the success of others.
- support local economic growth through entrepreneurship.
- participate in lifelong learning opportunities.
- use skills and knowledge to help others.
SCORE offers Online workshops, Online Counseling, Blogs for Women Entrepreneurs, Ask An Expert Blogs, Community Forums and a host of business tools. Please visit them at www.score.org For more information about this important program that helped nearly 400,000 people last year, go to www.score.org . Our local chapter of Piedmont SCORE was chartered in 1970 and currently has about 30 members covering the Upstate of SC. Piedmont SCORE has helped more than 12,500 entrepreneurs in the Upstate.
If you’ve enjoyed a successful business career, and want to continue to use that experience to help Oconee County in an important way, please contact us at 864-271-3638 or send an email to info@piedmontscore.org for more information.
