South Dakota Apprenticeships

The Youth Apprenticeship program addresses the dual role of both preparing career-ready students while also providing South Dakota with a highly skilled, technologically competitive workforce. Students are provided the opportunity to remain enrolled in academic classes designed to meet high school graduation requirements while at the same time partnering with local business and industry leaders for shadowing and hands-on learning experiences.  The best part: there is no waiting. It’s an instant career with an instant paycheck. Click on the links below to find how to get involved in this job training program.
