The South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations is excited to take part in Week of Work, April 8 – 12 and encourages members to do the same. This great opportunity organized by the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulations in conjunction with Career Ready SD, is a great opportunity for industry leaders to connect with the next generation of workforce.
Ready to shape the workforce of tomorrow? Get involved in the South Dakota Week of Work! Join others in empowering our future workforce by offering opportunities for job shadowing, internships, and mentorship. Together, let’s inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators. Don’t miss out on this chance to invest in our community and cultivate talent right here in South Dakota.
There are many different ways to take part in this exciting week.
Partner with local schools to provide career-connected learning opportunities to students in your community. Your future workforce could be closer than you realize. Finding them starts with building connections and growing relationships with your local school district. Did you know that most South Dakota school systems have career and technical education (CTE) programs? These programs are your workforce incubators. If you need assistance connecting with schools in your area, contact the Regional Career Ready Advisor.
