Western Dakota Technical College Learn. Do. Now.
In 1968, Lyndon B. Johnson was President, the first Big Mac went on sale at McDonalds costing 49 cents, and what was to become Western Dakota Tech was born when the State Office of Vocational Education approved the Black Hills Area Vocational Technical Institute in Rapid City.
Western Dakota Tech is excited to announce it will be celebrating its 50th anniversary throughout 2018. It will be a fun year with several celebration events.
As the need for nurses in the workforce continues to increase, graduates of Western Dakota Tech are well on their way to helping fill the important positions. Nineteen Western Dakota Tech Practical Nursing students received pins during a special ceremony for the completion of the Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Program. The event took place in Western Dakota Tech's Event Center, on Friday, Dec. 15.
This video is worth watching. It presents interesting information about skills being a key to a "self-sufficient future".
"Employers simply can’t find applicants with the necessary skills required in today’s workplace. A degree is one important milestone, but insufficient all on its own. This informative animation video was produced by Dr. Kevin Fleming (http://www.TelosES.com) with the support and funding of the California Far North Region's CTE Pathways Project (SB 1070)."
