Ensure a Rewarding & Guaranteed Career for your Students

 

Teachers – you want to help your students choose a fun, rewarding and guaranteed career, right? South Dakota’s health care industry is projected to need nearly 13,000 jobs by 2014 – an increase of nearly 30% from 2004 to 2014. The South Dakota Departments of Education, Health, Labor and the Board of Regents have been working collaboratively to address the critical need for healthcare workers in the state. Health Occupations for Today and Tomorrow (HOTT) was created to increase students’ awareness of the wide variety of health careers available to them. “Check out the latest HOTT newsletter for valuable information as well as a variety of FREE lesson plan activities.” For more information, contact Halley Lee at 773-6320 or halley.lee@state.sd.us.
