High School Students - Explore Options to Find What Best Suits You During Career Expo



Whether you are a high school student who knows what you want to do following graduation, or you are not quite sure, you should plan to attend Western Dakota Tech’s seventh annual Career Expo, Thursday, Sept. 28. The event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon in Rushmore North at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center.

Those attending the Expo will have the opportunity to explore more than 20 Western Dakota Tech programs through hands-on activities and visit with more than 20 employers.

The Career Expo allows high school students to experience a fun, realistic glimpse into a variety of fields, says Rachel Skea, Western Dakota Tech Admissions Counselor.

“We’re committed to helping students realize their potential,” Skea said. “Finding a career that fits your personality and goals is the first step to a successful career.”

The Expo focuses on interactive demonstrations to ensure attendees have a personal, hands-on experience with each career field.

“Every booth at the Expo has a hands-on activity to enjoy,” Skea said. “This is the best way to get a feel for a career. It also reflects our hands-on approach to education at Western Dakota Tech.”

Expo visitors will be able to administer an IV, practice emergency response methods, experience a virtual reality simulation, try on firefighter gear, and more.

For more information about the Career Expo, call Rachel Skea at (605) 718-2964 or email her at Rachel.Skea@wdt.edu.
