The Build Dakota Scholarship Program, along with the state’s four technical institutes, is hitting the road this fall to provide presentations at school and community events. The intended audience includes high school students and their parents, local business and industry officials, community leaders, and economic development groups.
The free sessions will explore topics such as the importance of “test-driving” careers in high school and ways to do that; bringing industry and education together to provide job shadowing, internships and other partnerships; and details about the Build Dakota Scholarship. Last year, the road show included 40 visits.
