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
