...is a critical issue for South Dakota.

Our businesses and industries face extensive workforce shortages in key industries vital to the future of our state.

The state's four technical institutes have developed a five-point plan called Directions. The plan and its results will allow South Dakotans to face our collective economic future with total confidence that we will continue to enjoy our unsurpassed quality of life.
