Want to learn what Registered Apprenticeships are all about and how they can support your workforce or your students?
Join us for an informative session where we break down how apprenticeships work, why they matter, and how they’re helping grow talent right here in South Dakota.
We’ll talk through the core components of a Registered Apprenticeship. You’ll also get to see how these programs fit into different industries and how schools, employers, and Start Today SD work together to support youth and adult learners.
We’ll share helpful resources, real examples of programs happening across the state, and simple next steps. Plus, you’ll have a chance to test your knowledge and connect with our team.
