Contractor-Start by applying through the South Carolina unemployment system. Have to take and score above a 3 on standard test given by SCWorks (that you have to pay for). Interview at SCWorks. Go to a 2 week UNPAID training. Get hired by a contracting company based in Alabama for a 6 month to 1 year contract-benefits and pay suck. Go to Trident Tech, length depends on either being classified as Fabrication or Assembly. From there you work on the floor at Boeing, working as hard as everyone else but getting paid like you are in high school. After your initial contract nears the end, Boeing decides if they want you and if so presents you with an offer which is either take it or leave it. Pay usually raised to $14/hr or so and benefits start. Still have to do 3-6 month probationary period even though you have already been working there.
